1. Register for Trial

You only need to do this step if you have not signed up for a trial or subscription yet.

Create and complete your subscription by signing in with your Microsoft credentials through the Standss SendGuard Management Console. Your free trial includes up to 25 licenses for your domain and is valid for 30 days.

If you require additional licenses or an extended trial period for testing, please contact us at sales@standss.com.

2. Configure SendGuard

SendGuard’s settings and user access can be managed centrally using the Standss SendGuard Management Console.

To get started, click on the Standss SendGuard Management Console and sign in using your Microsoft 365 credentials.

Note: You can only sign in to the console if you have an active trial or subscription,

Use the console to set up your organization's settings and manage users.

Once configured, your SendGuard settings will automatically sync and apply to users' Outlook applications across your organization.

3. Install/Deploy the add-in

SendGuard for Microsoft 365 can be installed or deployed centrally via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. However, it may take several hours for the add-in to appear for all users—this delay is controlled by Microsoft.

Admin installation (Microsoft Admin Center):
  1. Click here to Launch the add-in deployment wizard directly in your Microsoft 365 admin center (Integrated apps). If necessary, sign in to Microsoft with your organization's Microsoft 365 global admin account.
  2. In the wizard, two apps will be listed and automatically selected. Click Next.
  3. On the next page of the wizard, you'll see the Assign Users options:
    • Entire organization
    • Specific users/groups
    • Just me
    Select the appropriate option. If you're using Specific users/groups, you can search for users in the text field.
    Note: For testing purposes, do not select "Entire organization". We recommend deploying the add-in to a few users using the Specific users/groups option.
  4. Click Next. The App permissions and capabilities page will appear. Make sure to accept the permissions for both apps.
  5. After accepting permissions, click Next to proceed to the Review and Finish Deployment page.
  6. Click Finish deployment.

Note: Deployment may take up to 72 hours, depending on the size of your organization.

4. Start Sending Emails

To begin using SendGuard 365, open a new or existing email compose window in the Outlook client—either in Outlook on the Web (OWA) or the new Outlook desktop app.

From the ribbon, click on Apps and check if SendGuard 365 is visible. This confirms that the add-in has been successfully installed. If you'd like to refresh the settings, click on SendGuard 365 and select Refresh Settings from the dropdown.

Once you're ready, compose your email and click Send. The SendGuard 365 prompt will appear, guiding you through the review and confirmation process before the email is sent.
