Repeat-clicker rate after a structured awareness program

Proofpoint email security India: the editions we resell
Proofpoint is bundled, not one box. Pick by where your risk sits today: inbound threat, outbound data loss, or the human in the loop. Here is the catalogue, mapped to the team it protects.
Email Protection
The secure email gateway. Stops spam, malware and known phishing before the inbox. The base layer every other module sits on.
Targeted Attack Protection
URL and attachment sandboxing for the threats that get past signatures. Detonates links and files, rewrites URLs, and shows which named users are targeted most.
Email Fraud Defense
The BEC and invoice-fraud layer. Managed DMARC, supplier-risk scoring and impersonation checks for the lookalike domain asking finance to change bank details.
Security Awareness
Phishing simulations and training tied to real attack data. Drives the repeat-clicker list down and gives the board a number that moves.
Enterprise DLP
Outbound data-loss control across email, cloud and endpoint in one policy engine. Keeps a careless forward or an exit-day copy from leaving.
Insider Threat Management
Endpoint user-activity recording for the high-risk seat. A timeline of who did what with which file, built for the exit-risk conversation.
When Proofpoint wins for an Indian inbox
BEC and invoice fraud risk
Regulated finance and pharma
DPDP data-loss exposure
Microsoft 365 and Google tenants
If your incidents keep starting in someone’s inbox, Proofpoint puts inbound threat, outbound DLP and user training under one console. Finance gets the lookalike-domain wire fraud caught before the payment runs. The targeting view names the five people attackers keep coming back to, so training lands where it matters. It layers over Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and pairs with Secure Data Guard. Browse the full Cloud SaaS catalogue for the rest of the stack.
When Mimecast or Microsoft Defender fit better
The honest call is shape-driven, not brand-driven. A shop wanting email security plus archiving and continuity in one contract often fits Mimecast. A Microsoft-committed estate with E5 already pays for Defender for Office 365 Plan 2. The question there is whether its catch rate clears your bar, not whether to spend again. Where Proofpoint earns its price is people-centric targeting, managed DMARC, and one DLP policy across email, cloud and endpoint. We run the comparison in the free review and flag when a cloud-delivered security stack or the Microsoft-native path is cheaper.
One stopped wire transfer pays for the year.
A single business-email-compromise wire can run into tens of lakhs, and a data-loss event under the DPDP Act carries a penalty ceiling of INR 250 Crore. Email Fraud Defense and Enterprise DLP exist to stop the email that triggers either one.

Proofpoint vs Mimecast vs Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Same problem, three commercial shapes. Buyer comparison built from public 2026 pricing pages and our own deployment field notes. The right pick is shape-driven.
List prices indicative for India in 2026, exclusive of GST, subject to vendor confirmation at quote time, and dependent on bundle, term and volume.
Information Protection, insider threat, and India data residency
Proofpoint Enterprise DLP answers what email security alone cannot, what leaves the building and who sent it. One policy engine watches outbound email, cloud apps and the endpoint. A single rule covers a careless forward, a personal-cloud upload, and a copy to USB on exit day. Insider Threat Management adds a recorded timeline for the high-risk seat. Wire it alongside Secure Data Guard, route identity through Okta single sign-on, and keep mailbox and SaaS data recoverable with cloud backup for Microsoft 365.
On residency, plainly: Proofpoint processes email and detection telemetry in its global cloud regions, with no sovereign India region as of 2026. Mail content is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the platform holds ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 attestations. Logs and detonated samples still transit those regions. If your DPDP Act posture cannot accept that, we flag it at the quote stage and shape the data-handling path before you sign. We map the same controls into your wider data-protection program rather than push Proofpoint past where it fits. For an endpoint-heavy estate we also weigh endpoint-led protection and backup-led recovery.
Who is Proofpoint Email Security India a good fit for in India?
Proofpoint Email Security India works best for Indian businesses that already have established workflows around the related platforms, need DPDP-compliant data residency, and want a single accountable partner for deployment plus quarterly tuning. Sirius Star runs the entire lifecycle — scoping, deployment, training, and renewal — from a Navi Mumbai engineering team.
How long does Proofpoint Email Security India deployment take?
A typical Proofpoint Email Security India rollout in India takes 2-6 weeks from purchase order to production cutover, depending on scope. Sirius Star follows a phased plan: scoping call within 8 working hours of enquiry, design review within 5 days, deployment waves, then a 30-day stabilisation window before handing over to your team or our managed retainer.
Proofpoint India FAQ
How is Proofpoint priced in India in 2026?
Per mailbox per year, in bundles. Core Email Protection lands near INR 2,100 per user. A mid bundle adding Targeted Attack Protection and Email Fraud Defense runs near INR 3,600. The full bundle with Security Awareness and DLP sits near INR 5,200. Enterprise DLP and Insider Threat Management are quoted per seat. Pair with Microsoft 365 for the identity layer.
Does Proofpoint replace or sit alongside Microsoft 365 email?
It sits in front. Proofpoint is the secure email gateway ahead of Exchange Online, so mail routes through it, gets filtered and sandboxed, then lands in the Microsoft 365 mailbox. You keep Exchange Online. Many Indian estates run Proofpoint on inbound threat and DMARC, and lean on Microsoft for the mailbox.
How does Proofpoint stop business email compromise and invoice fraud?
Email Fraud Defense runs managed DMARC to stop spoofing of your own domain. It scores supplier and lookalike domains, and flags the pattern where a fake vendor asks finance to change bank details. Targeted Attack Protection sandboxes the payloads. Together they catch the wire-fraud email before the payment runs.
What India support and SLA does Sirius Star offer for Proofpoint?
We are an authorised Proofpoint reseller in India. You get a free readiness review and an 8-hour quote SLA on every order. We run a structured rollout across Email Protection, Targeted Attack Protection, Email Fraud Defense, Security Awareness and DLP. Tier 1 and Tier 2 support runs from Vashi, Navi Mumbai on IST hours, with vendor escalation for Tier 3.
P.S. from Priya Sharma, Data Protection, Sirius Star. The cheapest win on this whole page is managed DMARC. Most Indian domains we review are still on a monitor-only policy, which means a spoofer can send as you today. We can move you to a reject policy without breaking your real senders, and it shows up in the next board pack as a closed gap. Ask for that in the free review even if you buy nothing else.
One Proofpoint quote. Every layer. Every mailbox.
Free 24-hour readiness review. We map your inbound threat, DMARC posture, outbound data-loss exposure and most-attacked users. Inside one business day you get a written report. It gives the layer-by-layer split, the per-mailbox TCO, and an honest call on whether Proofpoint, Mimecast or the Microsoft-native path fits.
