Case Study: dormakaba achieves automated email authentication and enterprise-wide email visibility with Valimail

Automated Email Authentication Keeping dormakaba Ahead of the Security Curve

dormakaba, formed by the 2015 merger of DORMA and Kaba, is a global leader in access control and building security with more than 150 years of experience. As it moved to a centralized cloud environment after multiple mergers and acquisitions, the Hybrid Cloud Solutions team needed to secure an expansive email ecosystem—over 65 corporate domains—by implementing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC and overcoming technical limits like the SPF 10‑lookup cap while maintaining business continuity.

dormakaba layered Valimail onto Microsoft 365 to automate email authentication, gain full inbound and outbound visibility, and centrally authorize senders with one click. The deployment enabled enforcement of email policies without disrupting operations, blocked more than 5 million suspicious messages, authenticated over 29 million emails, and now protects 65+ domains—giving the company scalable, enterprise‑wide control of its corporate identity.
