Start from a neutral baseline and add what matters to you. Criteria are labeled by source — the platform baseline is architecture-neutral; buyer-contributed criteria are shown separately.
This evaluation is stored in your browser only. We cannot see it, and it is not tied to any account. Save it to a link or create an account to keep it across devices — you can export it at any time either way.
Signing up adds sharing with your team, sending this as an RFP to vendors, and private document sharing. Nothing above is taken away, and nothing here is sent anywhere until you choose to.
BEC attacks often contain no malicious links or attachments (pure social engineering via text), so generic phishing detection (URL/attachment scanning) frequently misses them entirely; insist on a detection rate measured against real BEC-specific samples.
Compromised legitimate vendor accounts are a more sophisticated and harder-to-detect BEC vector than domain spoofing; ask specifically whether the platform addresses this scenario, since many products only cover domain-impersonation cases.
BEC's real damage happens at the financial-transaction step, not the email itself; a platform with no connection to the payment/financial workflow only provides partial protection — ask specifically how (or whether) email flagging connects to stopping the actual money movement.
No buyer-contributed criteria yet
Verified buyers can suggest criteria (anonymized before pooling).
BEC detection inherently involves flagging urgent, high-stakes communication (wire transfers, executive requests) — false positives here are especially costly to business operations, so ask for a measured rate and a fast override path.
Contextual, explainable warnings build durable employee awareness of BEC patterns over time; a silent backend-only block provides no learning opportunity and doesn't help employees recognize similar attacks through other channels (e.g., a phone call).
Look for transparent, tier-differentiated pricing that's explicit about which capabilities (e.g., payment-workflow integration) are gated behind a premium tier rather than included in the base product.
Strong answers describe real fund-recovery support with a customer example — this is the highest-stakes use case (money already lost), not just prevention of future attempts.
BEC-specific insurance requirements are a real, often-overlooked consideration — a vendor with awareness of and support for these requirements shows more complete understanding of the customer's real risk-transfer needs.
Trend-over-time reporting is a distinct capability from individual detection events — confirm this exists as a maintained, exportable report.
Look for genuine integration into the broader security stack; a standalone BEC console disconnected from other email-security and SIEM tooling creates real operational complexity.
BEC fraud in non-English business communication requires genuine multilingual detection, not just translated interface menus — ask for a specific answer on language coverage depth.
Flagged BEC-suspicious messages often involve sensitive financial details or executive communication — role-based access control over this specific data is an often-overlooked consideration.
