The Solution

How to prevent misdirected emails

WaverSec Protect catches wrong recipients, risky content, and attachment mistakes at compose-time. It explains what went wrong, lets users fix issues immediately, and gives admins control over how strict protection should be.

Why Teams Add It

Why teams add compose-time protection

Awareness training and DLP programs still matter. WaverSec Protect adds protection at the moment an outbound mistake is about to happen: while the email is being written.

Awareness training

Training improves awareness, but people still need guidance in the moment they are composing an email under time pressure.

  • Builds policy awareness
  • Supports better habits over time
  • Works best with real-time guidance

Traditional DLP

Traditional DLP can provide broad governance coverage, but outbound email mistakes still benefit from a user-facing control at compose-time.

  • Strong policy baseline
  • Often centered on administration workflows
  • Benefits from a pre-send user layer

WaverSec Protect

WaverSec Protect adds real-time, pre-send protection inside the email client so users can see risk, understand it, and fix it before the message leaves.

  • Compose-time detection in the add-in
  • Clear explanations and remediation
  • Warn, soft-block, or block by policy
How It Works

From detection to decision in one flow

WaverSec Protect is designed for the moment where accidental data loss actually happens: while the email is being composed.

1

Detect

Analyze recipients, content, and attachments in real time while the user writes the email.

2

Explain

Show ranked warnings with clear reasons, so users understand what was flagged and what needs to change.

3

Enforce

Let admins decide whether users can acknowledge, must fix, or are blocked before sending.

Why Teams Adopt It

Built for privacy, rollout, and usability

The product has to be deployable, acceptable to privacy-conscious teams, and clear enough for end users to act on under real-world pressure.

Privacy-first architecture

On-device policy and DLP, on-prem ML/NLP, and optional cloud AI/LLM for edge cases keep protection aligned with privacy requirements.

Privacy Architecture

Microsoft 365 rollout

Deploy as a native Outlook add-in with a manifest download and no SMTP gateways, inbox replication, or mail-flow interception.

Clear guidance for end users

Warnings are designed to help users act immediately, with clear explanations and direct options to fix flagged recipients or attachments.

Cloud-based
Rollout Path

Start with a pilot, then scale safely

You do not need a big-bang deployment. Pilot the add-in, choose the right enforcement mode, then expand by domain, team, or organization.

Step 1

Pilot in Outlook

Deploy the add-in to a small group and validate the warning experience in the compose window.

Step 2

Choose enforcement

Use Taskpane only, Prompt user, Soft block, or Block based on risk tolerance and rollout stage.

Step 3

Expand with confidence

Roll out additional manifests for domains or teams as policies mature and user behavior stabilizes.

Choose the right enforcement mode for each stage

Start light, learn from real usage, and tighten policy only where it makes sense.

Taskpane only

Manual

Manual review in the add-in. No automatic send decision.

Prompt user

Warn

Warns on risk and lets users choose to send.

Soft block

Recommended

Requires fixes when detected; sends if add-in is unavailable.

Block

Strict

Strictest mode. No send if risk detected or add-in is down.

FAQ

Questions about the solution

The practical questions buyers ask before they move from awareness to deployment.

1

How does WaverSec Protect fit with user training?

Training still matters. WaverSec Protect reinforces policy at compose-time, when people are under pressure and most likely to make outbound email mistakes.

2

How does WaverSec Protect fit with traditional DLP?

It can cover a large part of outbound email risk on its own, and it also fits well alongside broader DLP programs. The key difference is that WaverSec Protect adds pre-send, user-facing protection where email mistakes actually happen.

3

What data does WaverSec Protect store?

WaverSec Protect does not retain email content, recipients, or attachments. Core detection runs on-device and on-prem, and cloud AI/LLM analysis is stateless and optional for edge cases.

4

Can we start in warn mode first?

Yes. Teams can start with lighter enforcement like Taskpane only or Prompt user, then move to Soft block or Block as confidence and policy maturity increase.

5

How long does rollout take?

Rollout is designed to take minutes, not months. Download the manifest, deploy it through Microsoft 365, and start with a pilot group before expanding further.

6

What happens when something is flagged?

Users see the issue in the add-in with severity and explanation. Depending on policy, they can remove the flagged recipient or attachment, acknowledge the warning, or be blocked from sending until it is fixed.
