Under a broadened strategic partnership, Entrust now resells the Red Sift integrated OnDMARC Solution with Entrust Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs)
Entrust, a leading provider of trusted identities, payments and data protection, and Red Sift, provider of the only integrated cloud email security and brand protection platform, announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to ease enterprise adoption of Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) standards for email identification and security. Building on the Entrust – Red Sift integration, Entrust is now reselling Red Sift OnDMARC management service to its customers.
BIMI standards combine strong email authentication using DMARC with Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) to enable a sender to display their trusted, registered trademark in their customer’s email inbox. The integration between Red Sift’s award-winning OnDMARC and Entrust VMCs provides enterprises a simple and cost-effective way to enhance their outbound email strategy. Last year, the companies’ jointly released research into the impact BIMI can have on the click-to-open and brand recall rates of emails. The data showed display of a registered trademark using BIMI standards could help to increase average purchase likelihood by as much as 34% for some brands, and could also boost brand recall by as much as 18%. This finding is supported by other research the 2021 DMA (UK) Consumer Email Tracker*, which said that recognizing the brand is the top factor in consumers opening an email. One Red Sift customer has already seen a 4%-6% increase in email engagement after implementing BIMI.
