You can greatly stress the importance of security awareness to Outlook users in your organization by displaying your company’s logo and links to your email/security policies on security prompts.
In this post, we show you how you can customize SendGuard for Outlook to achieve these both for an individual user and for deployment over your network.
The prompt (displayed above) shows all recipients and attachments. Users need to review the list and click Yes before the emails are sent out.
The prompts can also show your organizations logo and link back to your organizations email policies if you want.
This can be controlled from the Settings screen, or deployed when the software is installed. For network deployments, we can provide a customized MSI with all the relevant settings or ADMX/ADML files to use with GPO.
Setting the Logo and Email Policies from the Settings Screen
Click on Standss Outlook Addins on the Outlook ribbon.
Click SendGuard and then Settings to display the settings screen.
Click on the Corporate Branding/Policies tab.
Setting the Logo:
Tick the relevant checkbox on the screen and click the helper button […] to select a location for the logo.
Click Apply to save.
Note: If your image is in the same folder as the SendGuard installation folder then the Filename will be displayed without the path. This tip can be useful when you want to redeploy this setting to many computers.
Setting Links to Email Policies:
Click the “Click here to Customize Messages” link.
Set the appropriate values for the Display Text and URL boxes at the bottom of the screen (Note that you may need to do this on both the SendConfirm and ReplyGuard tabs).
Click OK to return to the Settings screen and then click Apply to save.
Setting the Logo and Email Policies for Network deployment
There are three options for deploying the settings to users over your network
Customised MSI
If you are deploying this to 25 or more users, we can create a customized MSI for you. When the software is installed with the customized MSI, the settings will be applied automatically.
Export and Run Registry Files
The following option is normally recommended for small networks but can also be automated on larger networks.
Set all the required settings on one computer.
Click the Export Settings button from the settings screen to create a reg file.
Copy the reg file to a shared location on your network.
Run the reg file from each computer to apply the settings.
NOTE:
You will need to put the logo image in a location that is accessible from all computers in order for this to work.
Alternatively, you can copy the image to each computer in the SendGuard installation folder.
Use ADMX/ADML files
Please contact us to get ADMX/ADML templates to use with GPO or any other deployment tool of your choice to push out SendGuard settings.
If you are using this method, we recommend that you either:
- Put the logo image in a location accessible from all computer on your network or
- Copy the image to each computer to the same folder in which SendGuard is installed. In that case, you will need to set the relevant registry key to the name of the file (without the path) for the logo to be displayed.
