DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) was introduced in 2012 as a standard to protect against email spoofing. By authenticating the sender, DMARC ensures that the emails you receive are genuinely from the claimed source. While adoption by major email providers has been increasing, independent implementation often presents challenges due to its complexity.

EasyDMARC, founded in 2018 by Gerasim Hovhannisyan and Avag Arakelyan, offers a B2B SaaS solution that simplifies email security and authentication. The platform protects domain and email infrastructure, ensuring only legitimate emails are sent from a domain. This not only prevents phishing attacks but also enhances overall email deliverability.

With the new funding, EasyDMARC plans to accelerate its global expansion. It aims to invest in its team and technology, enhancing product offerings for a smoother experience for enterprise clients. The company is also set to strengthen its channel partner ecosystem across Europe, the UK, the US, and the Asia-Pacific region, providing managed service provider partners with additional resources to better serve their customers.

EasyDMARC’s growth, with over 83,000 customers across more than 130 countries, underscores the rising momentum of the Armenian startup ecosystem. The tech sector has become Armenia's fastest-growing industry, attracting increased interest from global investors. EasyDMARC’s success highlights the innovation and talent emerging from this dynamic ecosystem.

Commenting on the funding round, Dana Sadovnic, Principal at Radian Capital said: "EasyDMARC is poised to capitalise on a substantial and largely untapped market opportunity, driven by tailwinds from Google and Yahoo’s regulatory announcements and rising phishing attacks. The significant market interest in EasyDMARC underscores the value of its sophisticated product suite, which enables companies to effectively configure, manage, and monitor DMARC security protocols throughout their lifecycle. We’re thrilled to partner with EasyDMARC for this journey."

Serdar Melez, Senior IT System Engineer at Teamviewer, a customer of EasyDMARC, said: “EasyDMARC’s recent investment underscores the growing recognition of their pivotal role in shaping enterprise email security. By integrating their advanced DMARC solutions, we enhance our defenses against outgoing phishing, spoofing, and other email threats, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of email security.”

Michael Berg, Security Services Manager at Empyrion Technologies said: “We have found that consolidating management and reporting of essential email security and deliverability features such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC within one platform has significantly improved our accuracy, efficiency, and response time. It has unquestionably become an essential tool for us. The US$20M investment EasyDMARC has received proves that we are not alone in our assessment of the critical nature of email security and deliverability, and we are also not alone in our assessment that EasyDMARC is having a huge impact in this space.”

Gerasim Hovhannisyan, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyDMARC said: “Phishing emails remain one of the most dangerous gateways for cyber-attacks, and DMARC is a proven solution to this threat. At EasyDMARC, we are passionate about making email security simple and accessible to businesses of all sizes.

“The regulatory landscape for email security is also rapidly evolving. Google and Yahoo have already mandated DMARC for bulk senders, and the PCI DSS will soon follow early next year. This funding will allow us to not only expand our global footprint but also bring even more advanced solutions to our partners, ensuring they stay ahead of evolving cyber threats and helping them meet these important regulatory requirements.”
