Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs)

Build Trust and Boost Brand Recognition with Entrust Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs).

What are Verified Mark Certificates?

Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) are digital certificates specifically designed to authenticate email senders and display a verified trademark logo alongside their email messages. By leveraging the industry-standard Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) protocol, VMCs ensure that your email recipients can easily identify and trust your brand, while protecting them against fraud through DMARC’s anti-spoofing technology.

The Importance of VMCs

Email communication plays a crucial role in modern business interactions. However, the increasing prevalence of email spoofing, phishing attacks, and impersonation attempts can erode trust and put your organization and customers at risk. VMCs address these concerns by providing a visual indicator of trust, allowing recipients to quickly identify legitimate emails from your organization.
