Why Japanese Companies Need DMARC Enforcement Now

Email-based fraud is a significant threat to Japanese organizations.

Record-high

phishing incidents were reported by Japan's National Police Agency in the first half of 2025.

¥3.22 trillion

in fraud losses were estimated by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) in 2024.

Only 9.2%

of Japanese organizations enforce their DMARC policy, according to PowerDMARC's 2025 report.

This enforcement gap leaves companies exposed to financial loss and brand damage.

DMARC by Industry in Japan

Securities and Banking

As the top targets for phishing, financial firms are directly addressed by the JSDA's guidelines. Moving to a p=reject policy is a critical step to protect customer accounts from fraud and meet industry standards.

Government

With Japan's push toward “Society 5.0,” securing digital services is a priority. While DMARC is not universally mandated, it is a key measure for protecting public trust and preventing the impersonation of government agencies.

Manufacturing

The supply chain is a frequent target of Business Email Compromise (BEC) fraud. Implementing DMARC helps secure communications with partners and customers, protecting against invoice fraud and operational disruptions.

Healthcare

The healthcare sector handles sensitive patient data, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. DMARC enforcement helps prevent attackers from spoofing hospital domains to steal personal information or send fraudulent billing notices.

Guided Transition from p=none to p=reject

PowerDMARC and our Japanese partners offer a managed service with a phased approach to safely take your domains from a passive monitoring policy to full enforcement.

  1. 1

    Discover and monitor

    We identify all your sending domains and subdomains, and deploy DMARC at p=none to begin collecting data.

  2. 2

    Analyze and align

    Our team analyzes DMARC reports to identify all legitimate sending sources, including third-party ESPs and SaaS vendors. We then work to align their SPF and DKIM records.

  3. 3

    Move to quarantine

    We shift your policy to p=quarantine using a gradual percentage-based rollout. This allows us to monitor for any legitimate mail streams that need correction without impacting delivery.

  4. 4

    Enforce p=reject

    After confirming that all legitimate mail is authenticated, we move your policy to p=reject. We also configure policies for parked domains and help you deploy BIMI and MTA-STS for complete protection.

Perfect Japanese Language Support Makes Security Management Easy

What I like best about PowerDMARC is its full support for the Japanese language. For Japanese users, navigating complex security settings can be challenging, so having the interface in Japanese is a huge advantage. It makes the platform much more accessible and easier to manage compared to other tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DMARC required in Japan?

While not a universal legal mandate, DMARC is strongly recommended by the MIC, JSDA, and the Anti-Phishing Council. It is becoming a standard expectation for any organization that wants to secure its email, protect its brand, and align with cybersecurity best practices in Japan.

What do MIC, JSDA, and the Anti-Phishing Council ask for?

These bodies recommend that organizations implement a DMARC policy of p=quarantine or p=reject. Their goal is to encourage a move away from passive monitoring to active enforcement to block phishing and other email-based attacks effectively.

Which DMARC policy should Japanese companies use?

The goal should always be to reach p=reject. A p=none policy provides visibility and is a great starting point, but it does not stop fraudulent emails. To protect your customers and brand reputation from rising phishing threats, an enforcement policy of p=quarantine or p=reject is essential.

How long does it take to reach p=reject?

With a managed platform like PowerDMARC, most organizations can safely transition to a p=reject policy in record time. The process is managed in phases to ensure that no legitimate business emails are accidentally blocked.

Can I buy PowerDMARC through a Japanese partner?

Yes, you can purchase and implement PowerDMARC through our official Japanese partners. They provide local sales, support, and managed services to guide you through the process.

Do you provide Japanese-language support?

Yes, PowerDMARC offers a Japanese-language user interface and dedicated technical support available during Japanese business hours (JST) to assist with any questions or issues.

How much does DMARC cost in Japan?

We offer plans starting from ¥1,200 per month. We also provide a free monitoring plan, a 15-day trial of our full platform, and custom quotes for enterprise needs.
