How sender trust badges help reduce phishing risk

Security training often fails because people cannot see the signals analysts rely on. Sender trust badges bring those signals into the inbox so everyone can react faster.

Translate complex checks into a glance

• Mailqor condenses domain age, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, reputation, and AI analysis into Verified/Unverified/Suspicious badges.
• Employees no longer guess whether a vendor email is safe—they look for the badge.

Reinforce policy with UX

• Pair badges with your payment approval rules: no badge, no payment.
• Customize copy in your playbook so teams know what each color means.

Enable faster escalations

• Mailqor's panel explains why a badge is cautious, which makes escalations richer and faster.
• Security gets structured context rather than vague "this feels weird" pings.

Build trust gradually

• Recognize legitimate partners by marking them as trusted senders.
• Highlight suspicious domains globally so the badge warns everyone instantly.

Measure impact

• Track how many suspicious emails get reported before becoming incidents.
• Survey teams to see if badges reduce decision time when invoices arrive.

Conclusion: give teams a common language

Badges make security visible. When finance, support, and leadership interpret the same signal, they stop phishing emails before the damage.
