From Legacy Security to Modern Defence

For nearly two decades, SEEMail provided a trusted encrypted environment. But today's attackers don't just intercept—they impersonate domains to execute Business Email Compromise (BEC) and sophisticated phishing attacks.

The new security standard isn't just about replacing a retiring service. It's about protecting the integrity of every government domain with universal, open-standard security controls.

The New Standard

The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) introduced the Secure Government Email (SGE) Framework to align with the New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM).

Domain Spoofing

Attackers impersonate official domains to compromise government communications.

Unprotected Domains

Legacy non-email domains lack modern security records, making them targets.

Encryption Gaps

Without enforced encryption standards, emails can be "downgraded" to insecure formats.

The SGE Framework: Three Pillars

A modern approach to email security built on open DNS-based controls
