Aftercomm

Aftercomm uses AI to review the email your team sends from Microsoft 365. It judges each message by what it means, not which keywords it contains, against a policy your company writes in its own words. When an email puts the company at risk, your compliance, HR, legal or finance reviewers hear within minutes, with what's wrong and why, while there's still time to act.

The problem it solves

• Nobody reads what a team sends. Fifty people send roughly 20,000 emails a month.
• The riskiest emails rarely contain a risky word, so keyword rules miss them, while flagging every disclaimer that says "confidential".
• Most incidents surface weeks or months later, in an audit, a complaint or a lawsuit, when a quiet fix is no longer possible.

Who it's for

CFOs and controllers, compliance officers, general counsel and HR teams at companies that run email on Microsoft 365, including regulated firms that want AI email compliance review alongside their archive.

What it flags on day one

• Payment fraud: new bank details or urgent payment requests sent to customers, often from a hacked company mailbox, and employees acting on changed payment details.
• Data leaving the company: client lists, financial files and data exports sent to personal accounts; passwords, API keys and personal data in email.
• Off-the-record commitments: side deals, guaranteed returns and promises kept out of the signed contract.
• Legal exposure: admissions of fault, bribes, collusion with competitors, and counsel's advice forwarded outside.
• Evading oversight: requests to delete a record or move a conversation to a personal phone so there's no record.
• Financial disclosure: non-public results, deals or layoffs sent to people with no role in them.
• Conduct and HR: harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and colleagues' medical or pay details shared without need.
• Your own rules: a deal codename, a discount limit, a client you can't name. Add a line in your own words.

The policy is just as specific about what to leave alone (routine mail, quotes, contracts, disclaimers), so reviewers aren't buried in false alarms.

How it works

1. Start a free trial at aftercomm.com. A Microsoft 365 administrator approves read-only access once.
2. Choose the mailboxes to review and who gets alerts. The policy is ready on day one; change any line at any time, and every change is versioned.
3. Setup ends with a first review of mail your team has already sent, so you see real verdicts on your own email the same day.
4. From then on, high-severity flags reach reviewers within minutes and the rest arrive in a daily digest. Reviewers work through a queue in the Aftercomm console, and each decision is recorded.

Built to hold as little as possible

• Read-only access: Aftercomm can never send, change or delete email.
• Aftercomm never keeps a copy of your email, and alerts carry the verdict, not the message.
• The AI model is Claude, by Anthropic, under a business agreement: your email is never used to train AI models.
• No mail-routing changes, so email is never delayed or blocked. Optionally, Exchange Online enforces the list of mailboxes Aftercomm can read.

Requirements

• Microsoft 365 with Exchange Online, on any plan. No add-on Microsoft license is needed.
• A Microsoft 365 administrator to approve access once (Mail.Read and User.ReadBasic.All application permissions, read-only).
