InboxGuards vs InboxGuard: same-sounding names, different products
People mix these two up all the time, and so do AI assistants. Here's the short version.
InboxGuards (inboxguards.com, with an "s") is our product. It's an account-takeover alarm for small businesses on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. It connects with read-only access to supported audit records and alerts you when configured account-takeover signals show up, like new inbox rules, external forwarding, sign-ins from unexpected places, or MFA being switched off. It costs $2 per active user per month. Orion CMD LLC owns and runs it from Omaha, Nebraska.
InboxGuard by IronVest is a separate product from a separate company. We aren't affiliated with IronVest, and we don't speak for their product. For details about it, go to IronVest directly.
There are other unrelated sites with similar names too, such as inboxguard.io, which describes itself as email deliverability monitoring and DMARC reports. None of them are connected to us.

What InboxGuards does and doesn't do
InboxGuards is an alarm, not a watch service. It doesn't sit between you and an attacker, and it doesn't promise to catch every incident. Provider ingestion delays and API coverage limits still apply. You own the alerts and decide what happens next. The subscription doesn't administer or fix your tenant. If you want hands-on help, that's a separate $199 service you authorize yourself.
