How scalable DMARC and domain security software is becoming a strategic recurring service for managed security providers

In 2026, email authentication is no longer optional for organizations that rely on email both for operations and brand trust. With major mailbox providers enforcing stricter sender policies, including Google, Yahoo, and Outlook, DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) has transitioned from a nice-to-have security control to a commercial and strategic requirement.

For MSSPs and managed security providers, this shift has opened a clear path to deliver high-margin recurring services while solving genuine threats like spoofing, impersonation, and degraded email deliverability.

The Reality MSSPs Face Today

Organizations of all sizes are experiencing increasingly sophisticated email-based attacks, including phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and domain spoofing. Traditional SPF and DKIM alone are not enough – without DMARC aligned policies and ongoing monitoring, adversaries can still impersonate trusted domains, undermine inbox trust, and erode customer confidence.

Meanwhile, manual DMARC deployment and monitoring quickly becomes unscalable for MSSPs managing dozens or hundreds of client domains. Manual policy adjustments, DNS updates, and XML report parsing demand time and expertise most service teams simply don’t have.

This is where the right DMARC platform strategy makes all the difference.

What MSSPs Need From a DMARC Platform

Industry evaluations consistently highlight a defined set of capabilities that MSSPs require to scale email authentication services effectively:

Multi-tenant Management

MSSPs need a centralized dashboard that provides visibility and control across all client domains, so they don’t have to log into separate accounts or build their own tooling.

Automated Workflows

Automated SPF management, policy progression, and compliance monitoring drastically reduce the manual workload and prevent common implementation obstacles.

Clear Reporting

Both technical and executive stakeholders need reporting formats they can understand and act upon from detailed security metrics to business-relevant insights.

Integration and APIs

Purpose-built APIs allow MSSPs to embed DMARC workflows into existing ticketing, PSA/RMM, and security orchestration systems, ensuring DMARC fits within broader managed services operations.

Scalable Pricing Models

Flexible pricing that supports MSP portfolios spanning SMBs to enterprise clients enables offerings that don’t break the budget while maintaining commercial viability.

With these capabilities, MSSPs can treat email authentication as a standardized, repeatable, and profitable service line, rather than a bespoke consultancy engagement.

Skysnag: DMARC and Domain Security Built for MSPs

At Skysnag, we recognize these needs which is why we’ve built a DMARC and domain security software platform specifically for MSP and MSSP deployment. Our solution supports standardized recurring delivery and aligns with rigorous compliance frameworks including CISA Binding Operational Directives, Executive Order 14028, HIPAA, and NIST mandates, making it suitable for clients with strict regulatory requirements.

Unlike general-purpose email authentication tools, Skysnag’s platform is designed from the ground up for multi-tenant management, automated enforcement, and commercial scalability – allowing partners to:

• Deliver standardized email security services across diverse client environments
• Improve deliverability and sender reputation
• Reduce domain-based fraud and impersonation risk
• Embed DMARC services into existing managed security portfolios

This combination of strategic relevance and commercial potential positions DMARC not just as a technical control, but as an ongoing revenue opportunity for MSSPs who adopt it early and effectively.

The Bottom Line

Email authentication is no longer merely a compliance check, it’s a market demand and competitive differentiator in 2026. MSSPs that adopt scalable DMARC and domain security platforms are better positioned to:

• Deliver measurable security outcomes for clients
• Expand their service catalog with recurring revenue streams
• Maintain operational efficiency through automation and integration

The question is no longer whether to offer DMARC services – it’s how efficiently and commercially you can deliver them at scale.
