What you had. What you get.

Everything Mail Check and Web Check did, without the retirement date.

Point SkyQon at your domain and you get email authentication, TLS and DNS posture in a single scored report, re-checked daily.

Mail Check → Email-spoofing protection

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS and BIMI, checked continuously and graded into a plain-English Trust Score, with the exact record to fix when something is wrong.

Web Check → Web & certificate hygiene

TLS configuration, certificate expiry and chain health, DNSSEC and DNS security, plus discovery of subdomains you forgot you had.

Public-sector only → Open to any organisation

Mail Check and Web Check served the UK public sector only, and both are now retired. SkyQon is open to any organisation and starts free.

Why SkyQon is the right replacement

Made in the EU, for EU rules

Your data stays in the EU, and findings map to NIS2, DORA and eIDAS rather than a US compliance checklist.

Continuous, not a one-off

Mail Check and Web Check gave you a snapshot. SkyQon re-checks every day and alerts you when something changes: an expiring certificate, a broken DMARC record, a look-alike domain appearing in CT logs.

See everything, even on free

Every plan, including the free one, shows the complete diagnosis. Paid plans add the one-click fixes and audit-ready evidence on top.

Free covers up to 5 domains, continuously

Monitor up to 5 domains with a daily Trust Score across email, DNS, certificates and TLS, with email alerts included. Free forever, no card. When you need exact fixes, faster checks or compliance evidence, upgrading takes a click.

Turn the checks into NIS2 and DORA evidence

If NIS2 or DORA applies to you, SkyQon turns the same monitoring into signed, verifiable technical-evidence reports: the paper trail auditors ask for, without a consulting engagement.

NCSC replacement — frequently asked

Is NCSC Mail Check really gone?
Yes. The NCSC retired Mail Check and Web Check on 31 March 2026 and now points organisations to commercial services. SkyQon is a continuous, EU-based replacement you can start using free today.
Do I need to be a public-sector body?
No. Mail Check and Web Check were public-sector only. SkyQon is open to any organisation.
What exactly do you check?
Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, BIMI), TLS and certificate hygiene, DNSSEC and DNS security, and forgotten-subdomain exposure, all scored into one Trust Score with prioritised findings.
Is it really free?
Yes. Up to 5 domains monitored continuously, with a daily Trust Score and email alerts, no card required. Paid plans add one-click fixes, faster scans, more domains and compliance evidence.
Where is my data?
In the EU. SkyQon runs entirely outside your network with no agent to install, so we only ever read what is already publicly observable.
