Flotek Group becomes a strategic partner of Palisade

The short version: Flotek Group, one of the UK's fastest-growing MSPs, is now a strategic partner of Palisade. Flotek offers managed DMARC to the businesses it works with under its own brand, Flo Verified Mail, and Palisade does the work underneath. Flotek joined Palisade in August 2026 and put its own domain on the service first.

“Working with Sam and Ian at Palisade has been a dream. In our research and due diligence, their platform was by far the best we looked at, and the product is a step above anything else we've seen. Onboarding with the team has been excellent, and we're excited to be a strategic partner.”

— Jay Ball, CEO, Flotek Group

Why Flotek offers DMARC

Flotek sees email authentication as part of the modern security stack, next to firewalls, endpoint protection and MFA. AI has made a fake email from a client's own domain cheap to send and hard to spot, and DMARC is what blocks it once a domain is enforced. So Flotek built a service to offer every client, at one monthly price per domain.

To find the software behind it, Flotek asked Claude for the best DMARC software for MSPs, and Claude named Palisade. The team tried it on flotek.io first: on 25 August, Flotek signed up, added its domain and made its first branded report, all within 12 minutes.

How Flo Verified Mail runs on Palisade

Flo Verified Mail is white label, with Flotek's name on it. Palisade reads every DMARC report, tracks each sender, opens a ticket with the fix, and hosts the SPF and DMARC records. Flotek's engineers approve every genuine sender and move each domain to full protection in stages.

Flotek uses Palisade in three places:

  • A free check on flotek.io. Anyone types in a domain and gets a score in about 20 seconds, with no sign-up, and a report carrying Flotek's name: a verdict, then four steps and a deadline.
  • Live status in the Flotek Partner Portal. Existing partners see each domain's policy, score, volume and the work ahead, drawn from the Palisade API, without leaving Flotek's site.
  • Reports from a chat with Claude. Jay connected Claude to Palisade's MCP server. He asks for a prospecting report in the conversation, and the link comes back ready to send.

From first contact to live in weeks

There was no big project. Flotek went live in steps, its own domain first.

Timeline of how Flotek went live on Palisade: in August, Flotek finds Palisade through Claude; on 25 August, its first branded report 12 minutes after signing up; in early September, its feedback reshapes Palisade's report; on 14 and 15 September, flotek.io moves onto hosted SPF and the free check goes live; in mid-September, the CEO makes reports from Claude; then live status in the Partner Portal

Flotek's September feedback reshaped Palisade's prospecting report for everyone. The verdict now sits on the cover, the steps run in order to a deadline, and you can pick a currency, pounds included.

The full story, with screenshots of the free check and the portal, is in the Flotek case study.
