A Proofpoint alternative for Australian businesses.
Proofpoint is an enterprise email security platform with deep threat intelligence and a broad capability set. For Australian businesses outside the enterprise tier, it typically means significant cost, an implementation that requires specialist expertise to configure correctly, and support that is oriented toward large accounts.
Why businesses look for a Proofpoint alternative.
- Enterprise pricing that assumes large account volumes
- Complex configuration requiring specialist expertise to maintain
- Support routed through account teams or resellers
- Ongoing administration overhead for a platform built for full-time security teams
- Reporting and compliance features that require additional modules

Local engineers. Australian hosting. No offshore handoffs.
Edos Solutions is based in Sydney. Every engineer is Australian, all infrastructure is hosted in Australian data centres, and when you contact us you reach the person who actually manages your environment — not a helpdesk that escalates to someone who escalates to someone else.
For Australian businesses with data sovereignty requirements, privacy obligations under the Australian Privacy Act, or compliance frameworks that specify local data handling — this matters from day one.
Frequently asked questions
- We use Proofpoint for compliance archiving — does Mail Shield cover that?
- Mail Shield focuses on threat filtering and delivery security. If you need email archiving for compliance, we'll scope that separately and recommend the right tool for your compliance obligations — we won't bundle it in unnecessarily.
- How long does a migration from Proofpoint take?
- A typical migration runs over one to two weeks: audit your current configuration, stage the new environment, run parallel, then cut over. The timeline depends on the complexity of your mail flows and any custom routing rules in the Proofpoint config.
- Can Mail Shield handle our volume of outbound mail?
- Mail Shield is built on infrastructure that scales. Tell us your approximate send volume in the initial conversation and we'll confirm it's a fit before you commit to anything.
- What happens when a legitimate email is blocked?
- We monitor false positives as part of ongoing management. If a legitimate sender is being blocked, you contact us directly and we investigate and resolve it — typically within the same business day. You don't submit a ticket and wait.
