[Until Nov 28] New standard for spoofing protection — get a free 1-year VMC (company logo certificate)
A chance to get a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) free for one year!
An opportunity to increase the trustworthiness of your company email.
From Tuesday, November 4, 2025, to Friday, November 28, 2025, we are running a limited-time campaign offering one year of our Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) for free. When applying, please be sure to mention that you are "applying through our website."
What is a "Verified Mark Certificate (VMC)"?
A VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) is a digital certificate that verifies your company logo officially belongs to your organization. By obtaining a VMC, you can implement BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification), a system that displays your company logo in the recipient's inbox.
- VMC = A certificate that proves the authenticity of your brand logo.
- BIMI = A framework that uses VMC to display your logo.
By obtaining a VMC and implementing BIMI, recipients can instantly recognize that an email is from a trusted source, even before opening it. This provides customers with a sense of security, enhances brand value, and is highly effective in preventing phishing scams.

Why are "VMC" and "BIMI" Gaining Attention Now?
Damage from "spoofing emails" impersonating real companies and organizations is becoming a serious problem, with the number of reported phishing incidents continuing to hit all-time highs. Without any countermeasures, your domain could be exploited, and your valued customers could fall victim to phishing scams.
Meanwhile, security-conscious companies are steadily implementing "VMC + BIMI" to further enhance brand trust, in addition to adopting sender authentication technologies like DMARC. "Visualizing" email trust has now become an essential brand security measure for all companies.
