Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of organizations <a href=\"https:\/\/dmarc.org\/stats\/dmarc\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">adopting DMARC<\/a>, and new policies have been released regularly from 2020 to 2025. Meanwhile, published records don&#8217;t always remain active, and many domain owners don&#8217;t keep their DMARC policies up to date.

It retains the same basic purpose as the original standard: to allow the recipient to determine whether an email message from a domain is valid.

The more distributed the systems, the more attack vectors become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DMARCbis addresses this issue by enhancing the discovery, application, and management of policy and subdomains. This makes authentication more predictable for receivers and easier for domain owners to handle. In reality, this translates into fewer edge cases and a greater likelihood that the policy will be consistent across providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Changed_in_RFC_9989\"><\/span><strong>What Changed in RFC 9989<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DMARCbis RFC, published as RFC 9989, is the main DMARC protocol specification and supersedes the previous specification (RFC 7489) as the authoritative document on DMARC. It specifies the approach for publishing policy, the mechanism for evaluating messages against policy, and the action to take if the authentication fails. The DMARCbis update is actually a set of three standards, rather than a single document: aggregate reporting is covered by RFC 9990 and failure reporting by RFC 9991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>DNS Tree Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important protocol change in RFC 9989 is the DNS Tree Walk approach. Receivers now interpret policy through a structured domain hierarchy rather than relying on assumptions that may lead to ambiguity. This simplifies policy discovery, particularly for businesses with many subdomains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Stronger subdomain handling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another significant change is security for non-existent subdomains. Subdomain confusion is a technique used by attackers to create messages that appear convincing at first glance. DMARCbis adds explicit policy behavior to mitigate this risk and prevent a popular spoofing route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Simplified model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A third change is simplification. Certain older policy components were helpful during the DMARC migration but cumbersome to implement in production. DMARCbis reduces that complexity so that organizations can implement policy more easily and keep it clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Reporting standards are now separate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aggregate reporting is a daily XML report that receivers send to domain owners, as defined in RFC 9990. These reports provide information about IP addresses that sent mail for the domain, and whether the mail passed <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/spf-vs-dkim-vs-dmarc\/\">SPF, DKIM, and DMARC<\/a> checks. RFC 9991 specifies the implementation of failure reporting, a near-real-time, per-message feature that assists the domain owner in quickly discovering and diagnosing failures in authentication when a particular message fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This structure makes the DMARCbis complete and easier to understand. RFC 9989 handles the authentication logic, RFC 9990 handles daily visibility, and RFC 9991 handles detailed failure insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_DMARCbis_Matters_for_Security\"><\/span><strong>Why DMARCbis Matters for Security<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attackers still rely on spoofed emails to launch phishing campaigns, increasing the need for DMARCbis. If the sender looks familiar, employees may respond before verifying the message. This is when email authentication becomes increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DMARCbis increases consistency in policy evaluation, thereby limiting the space attackers can exploit. It does not prevent all attacks, but it will make impersonation more difficult and provide the receiver with better information when making trust decisions. In other words, it can improve decision quality before the email is delivered to the inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is crucial when businesses use email to send and receive invoices, communicate with HR, and more. In these instances, a convincing fake message can be extremely costly. The use of stronger authentication isn&#8217;t a technical decision today; it&#8217;s a decision on better risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Real-World_Risk_Example\"><\/span><strong>A Real-World Risk Example<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/phishing-and-bogus-emails-hm-revenue-and-customs-examples\" rel=\"nofollow\">2025 UK<\/a> phishing activity reported, which targeted users with HMRC and Home Office email addresses. In that case, the sender&#8217;s trust is exploited, and the email is believable. It also explains why authentication standards matter, not just in theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_senders_do_now\"><\/span><strong>What should senders do now?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DMARCbis does not require current adopters to change their operations. Old records remain valid; no &#8220;republishing event&#8221; is required by RFC 9989. This means that it is not a disruptive change, but an evolutionary one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These DMARC changes also make it a good time to review how your current DMARC deployment is configured. If pct remains part of a transition plan, it is time to see it as a short-term, not a long-term, solution. If your team has been in p=none for years, DMARCbis may be a good time to review your security objectives and want to see if monitoring mode is still meeting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sender&#8217;s checklist includes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scan any files with pct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the new model t=y or t=n to replace the test assumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discuss aggregate and failure reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review if the subdomain policy will continue to support policy usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if the domain is prepared for the transition from monitoring to enforcement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Threatcop_fits\"><\/span><strong>How Threatcop fits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threatcop\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/tdmarc\">TDMARC<\/a> is relevant because the tool focuses on outbound email security and visibility into domain misuse. That makes it the best fit for the DMARCbis conversation, since any update to the protocol can only benefit if the teams can actually observe and react to the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threatcop\u2019s DMARC checker reinforces the idea that authentication is not a one-time setup. Security teams require constant monitoring of spoofing and unauthorized sending sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n  .threatcop-banner {\n    background-color: #02022e;\n    border: 2px solid #00bf63;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    padding: 12px 24px;\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: space-between;\n    align-items: center;\n    max-width: 1100px;\n    margin: 20px auto;\n    color: #ffffff;\n    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\n  }\n\n  .threatcop-banner-text {\n    font-size: 18px;\n    font-weight: 500;\n  }\n\n  .threatcop-banner-button {\n    background-color: #00bf63;\n    color: #ffffff;\n    padding: 8px 20px;\n    border-radius: 8px;\n    text-decoration: none;\n    font-weight: 500;\n    white-space: nowrap;\n    transition: 0.2s ease;\n    font-size: 15px;\n  }\n\n  .threatcop-banner-button:hover {\n    opacity: 0.9;\n  }\n\n  @media (max-width: 768px) {\n    .threatcop-banner {\n      flex-direction: column;\n      text-align: center;\n      gap: 10px;\n    }\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"threatcop-banner\">\n  <div class=\"threatcop-banner-text\">\n    Discuss Your Organization\u2019s Human Risk Challenges\n  <\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/contact-us?utm_source=thrm_summerized_blog\" class=\"threatcop-banner-button\">\n    Book a Meeting\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DMARCbis is the next generation of <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/spf-authentication\/\">email authentication<\/a>.
