180 Degrees IT · Vendor Security Check
Feel confident about the vendors you trust with your business.
It takes about thirty seconds. This looks at a vendor's public email security records — the same ones we publish about our own systems, because good businesses check each other.
Start with the vendor you pay most often — a supplier, contractor, or another business you'd trust with an invoice.
We'll only use your email to send you this result — the vendor is never contacted or told you looked. This only reads records that are already public, the same way a WHOIS lookup is. We don't manage this vendor's IT, so there's nothing here for us to sell you. How we handle your data →
This usually takes a few seconds.

Habits that stop most email scams
Ten quick habits worth building into how your team handles email.
1Check the sender's actual address
Not just the display name — scammers can make that say anything.
2Be wary of urgent bank-detail changes
Verify by phone, using a number you already have on file — never one from the email.
3Hover before you click
The visible link text can say anything. Check where it actually goes.
4Never enter your password via an email link
Go to the website directly instead.
5Be suspicious of unexpected attachments
Especially invoices or "remittance advice" files asking you to enable content.
6Watch for misspelled domains
Like "micros0ft.com" or "yourcompany-invoices.com" instead of the real one.
7Slow down
Scammers rely on urgency. A genuine request can wait for a two-minute call.
8Confirm bank-detail changes by phone
Call a known contact before paying, even if the email looks official.
9Turn on multi-factor authentication
So a stolen password alone isn't enough to get into your email.
10If in doubt, ask first
Before you click, reply, or pay. We'd rather be asked than clean up after.
Bonus tip: If an email looks suspicious, forward it to threats@180DegreesIT.com and we'll check it out for you.
