Quick Start
Deploy MailGuard, then scan in Outlook
MailGuard is an Outlook web add-in. For the beta, a Microsoft 365 administrator deploys it with Centralized Deployment. This is not a local Windows installation.
1. Create your MailGuard account
Visit Get Started and contact Code13 to arrange MailGuard access. Your organization is provisioned by Code13 — not through anonymous self-registration.
2. Deploy to Microsoft 365
An Exchange or Microsoft 365 administrator must upload the Outlook add-in file and assign users.
- Download MailGuard.outlook.xml.
- Open Microsoft 365 Integrated apps.
- Upload the custom app and assign selected users or groups.
3. Open Outlook after propagation
- Wait for deployment to propagate (often minutes; can take up to 24 hours).
- Fully quit and reopen Outlook if needed.
- Open any email message.
- Open MailGuard from the ribbon or Apps surface.
4. Sign in and scan
- Sign in with the same MailGuard account you created online.
- Select an email to begin analysis.
- Review the verdict and Security Coach guidance.
