Valimail for government agencies
Email authentication for government agencies
Protect public communications, meet federal mandates, and stop phishing attacks targeting your constituents.
The one-and-only DMARC vendor with FedRAMP authorization Government email systems are unlike anything in the private sector. You’re not just protecting internal communications—you’re safeguarding public trust, citizen data, and critical government operations. A single spoofed email from a .gov domain can trigger a cascade of consequences: citizens lose money to fraud, classified information gets compromised, or essential services get disrupted during emergencies.
Your email infrastructure spans multiple departments, dozens (or hundreds) of third-party vendors, legacy systems that predate modern security standards, and countless services sending emails to constituents. Election notices, benefit notifications, emergency alerts, tax communications, law enforcement coordination—all of it flows through email systems that cybercriminals are actively targeting.
IT directors, CISOs, and security teams in the government are expected to implement enterprise-grade security with public sector budgets, navigate complex procurement processes, maintain systems that can’t go offline, and meet compliance requirements that keep getting stricter. And unlike the private sector, your failures make headlines and erode public trust in government institutions.
Ultimately, government agencies need email authentication that meets federal mandates, works with legacy infrastructure, and protects citizens without creating bureaucratic headaches.
Government email
security challenges
Prime targeting
A spoofed email from the IRS, Social Security Administration, or
local health department gets clicked because citizens trust .gov addresses.
Federal mandates
BOD 18-01 requires all federal civilian domains to implement DMARC at enforcement (p=reject). State and local governments face similar pressure.
Legacy systems
Many government agencies run email infrastructure that wasn’t built with modern authentication in mind. Upgrading isn’t as simple as installing an update, though.
Vendor ecosystems
Getting all of your contractors, vendors, and third-party services aligned with your authentication policies is easier said than done.
Public trust
When citizens receive spoofed emails pretending to be from government agencies, it damages trust in public institutions. That trust, once lost, is incredibly hard to rebuild.
Operational continuity
Government email can’t just go offline for maintenance. Emergency services, constituent communications, and inter-agency coordination need to always keep running.

ValiGov is the first and only automated email authentication solution built specifically for U.S. government agencies.
