Why Email Gateway Protection Alone Is Not Enough
Email security is not only about blocking suspicious messages. Attackers increasingly exploit weaknesses that live behind the scenes — invisible to your team until an incident exposes them.
These weaknesses can enable attackers to send convincing messages that appear to come from trusted sources — your practice, your vendors, even your patients' previous communications.
Missing or Weak SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
Without proper email authentication, anyone can send messages that appear to come from your domain.
Compromised Employee Credentials
Leaked passwords allow attackers to log in as legitimate users — bypassing filters entirely.
Lookalike Domains
Attackers register near-identical domains to impersonate your practice and target employees, patients, and vendors.
Incorrect or Outdated Mail Routing
Leftover settings from migrations or provider changes create undetected gaps in your mail security.
The CDS Email Health Check gives you visibility.
We review your email security posture externally so you can understand your exposure and address risks before they impact your practice — without installing anything or accessing your mailboxes.
What the CDS Email Health Check Reviews
Email Authentication & Domain Protection
We analyze your domain's email authentication configuration to identify misconfigurations, missing records, and spoofing risks.
- SPF Configuration Check — identifies whether your domain has properly authorized email senders
- DKIM Authentication Review — whether outgoing emails use authentication signatures
- DMARC Policy Review — evaluates spoofing protection policies on your domain
You receive insight into missing records, configuration issues, and opportunities to strengthen your email security.
Email Routing & Mail Configuration Review
Your email routing configuration can reveal hidden security risks. We review publicly available mail settings for weaknesses.
- MX records
- Mail routing configuration
- Legacy email settings
- Unexpected mail infrastructure
This helps identify weaknesses caused by migrations, provider changes, or outdated configurations.
Exposed Credential Risk Assessment
Compromised credentials are one of the most common causes of account takeover. We check your domain against known exposure databases.
- Email addresses checked against known breach databases
- Accounts flagged that may require password changes
- Accounts needing additional monitoring
- Accounts requiring stronger authentication controls
Know which accounts may already be in attacker hands.
Lookalike Domain & Email Impersonation Detection
Attackers often create domains that look almost identical to legitimate organizations, then use them to target your practice's contacts.
- Potential lookalike domains identified
- Impersonation risk for employees
- Impersonation risk for patients
- Impersonation risk for vendors and business partners
Know when someone is impersonating your practice before your patients do.

Email Health Check FAQs
We only need your domain name — for example, yourpractice.com. All checks are performed using publicly available information. We do not need login credentials, mailbox access, or access to your internal systems.
No. The assessment is entirely external and passive. We do not connect to your network, install anything, access your mailboxes, or change any DNS or email settings. Your team will not notice it is happening.
Your completed report is typically delivered within 2–3 business days after you submit your domain information.
Yes, completely free. There is no cost, no trial period, and no obligation to purchase anything. We provide the Email Health Check as a starting point to help organizations understand their email security exposure.
Any healthcare practice, dental office, nonprofit, or regulated organization that relies on email for operations. Email is the most common starting point for cyberattacks, and many vulnerabilities — like missing DMARC policies or exposed credentials — are invisible without an external review.
Your report includes prioritized recommendations and actionable next steps. A CDS specialist can walk you through the findings and help you decide which issues to address first — with no obligation to engage any additional services.
