Setting Up Allowlisting for Phin Security

We have built this guide to make allowlisting as easy as possible for you and your team.

To ensure training reminders and simulated phishing makes it through your email filtering process, you will need to allowlist the following Sending IPs, domains, and simulated URLs.

Note: If you are using third-party software such as INKY, Barracuda, and others, you may need to add our IPs, domains, and simulated URLs to those platforms as well.

  1. Navigate to Company > Integrations > Automated Allowlist
  2. Click Continue to Microsoft (After reviewing the necessary permissions)
  3. Log into Microsoft and grant consent for the integration
  4. Once this process is done, click the "Start Allowlist" button.
  5. Once the allowlist service is done, you'll be presented with either a success or failure message. A success message will be accompanied by an output of what was updated.
    1. If everything comes back as successful, we recommend navigating to the Advanced Delivery (step 4 of Manual allowlisting) and confirming you see the injected Sending IPs, domains, and simulated URLs listed. If you do not see them, please disconnect and re-attempt automated allowlisting or contact the Phin support team.

    2. If you receive an error message, please disconnect and re-attempt automated allowlisting or contact the Phin support team.

In addition to allowlisting, it is encouraged that MSPs also enable the Ignore 3rd party addresses option. This does NOT replace allowlisting but also serves as an additional best practice.
