MailControl is a cyber-security company offering anti-spymail solutions for protection of enterprise data. Founded by Paul Everton in 2015, the company serves enterprise clients across legal, real estate and IT industries. MailControl is headquartered at Chicago, Illinois.

Founder
Prior to founding MailControl, Paul Everton also started two other companies. Yapmo and Visible Vote. It was during his active time in Yapmo, now Konverse, that he discovered email code that was relaying back sensitive information to the sender. This discovery directly led to the founding of MailControl. Everton continues to be Chairman of Konverse.

Everton has more than 15 years of experience in Information Technology, Security, Network and Infrastructure design. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with specialization in network security and cryptography techniques from Georgia Institute of Technology.

Venture Capital
In July 2016, the company raised USD 1 million in its first round of funding. The investment round was led by Guild Capital, an early stage venture capital firm. Iain Shovlin, Chairman and Managing Partner of Guild Capital, became a member of MailControl's board of directors as part of the investment deal.

Spymail
Spymail are emails containing hidden tracking codes that collect metadata about the recipient and relay it back to the sender. When a spymail is opened, the sender of the email receives metadata that lead to privacy infringement and data loss.

Enterprise Privacy Shield
MailControl's Enterprise Privacy Shield (EPS) is an anti-spymail privacy protection service for enterprise email. Primarily, EPS is placed on top of an enterprise email server in order to disable hidden tracking codes in incoming emails. It is an effective tool to prevent phishing attacks. EPS also detects spymail trackers and provides the enterprise with insights about the email ecosystem. EPS is the first and only anti-spymail solution that detects and removes email tracking code from spymail before reaching user inboxes.
