Unlike anti-spam and anti-malware solutions, MailControl's Enterprise Privacy Shield (EPS) protects against spymail.

Such emails, while seemingly harmless, contain hidden tracking code that reveals sensitive information such as when and how many times they are opened, whether and to where they are forwarded, and the physical location from which they are opened. Because the tracking code is hidde, spymail recipients are typically unaware that sensitive information about them and their company is being revealed.

'The use of email tracking tools is exploding and with it are the risks that companies are being exposed to,' said Paul Everton, Founder and CEO of MailControl. 'The tricky part is this: many spymails are legitimate emails that businesses want their employees to open. They just don't want the potential liability that comes with the tracking code.'

Spymail exposes businesses to huge potential liability by providing court-admissible proof it was opened by the recipient, putting employee privacy and security at risk, increasing susceptibility to phishing and other cyber attacks, enabling eavesdropping on subsequent forwards and replies, and exposing confidential information. MailControl mitigates these risks with a single 30 minute on-boarding call that gets the company protected across all employees and all devices.

MailControl offers custom pricing for enterprises with more than 300 users. It charges $500 per month for enterprises with up to 300 users.
