Why DMARC Belongs in Your 2027 Budget

DMARC should be a 2027 budget priority as email authentication becomes a business, not just security, issue.
The article argues DMARC should be prioritized in organizational budgets for 2027. CISO concerns about compliance and governance rose from 38% to 45% between 2025 and 2026, while phishing-related credential compromise climbed from 20% to 25%.
It stresses that email authentication is no longer just a security issue but a business one affecting deliverability, customer engagement, and brand reputation.
Regulations like NIS2 and DORA are pushing organizations toward structured cybersecurity governance. DMARC protects domains from unauthorized use and provides sender visibility, but success depends on people and process rather than technology alone.
The call to action is to move email trust from an accepted risk to a managed one by 2027.
