London, UK – 22 July 2025 — TrustLayer, the layered cloud security platform built for the mid-market, has been nominated for two categories at the teissAwards 2026: Best Cloud Security Solution and Best Email Security Solution.
The nominations mark a significant moment for TrustLayer, whose DirectProtectâ„¢ architecture has redefined how organisations secure email, apps, and users without unnecessary complexity. Trusted by thousands of organisations, the platform continues to win converts among IT leaders who are fed up with clunky point solutions and protection that breaks more than it blocks.
Nominations in these award categories recognises TrustLayer’s ability to deliver comprehensive protection without traditional bottlenecks. Instead of rerouting traffic or forcing change through clunky MX record updates, TrustLayer’s DirectProtect™ engine delivers inline, policy-based security that’s easy to deploy and manage — across cloud applications and Microsoft 365 email environments.
The platform’s cloud control capabilities (TrustLayer Browse) give IT teams visibility and governance over SaaS use, shadow IT, and risky web access — without the performance drag or maintenance overhead of legacy solutions. On the email front, TrustLayer Mail provides full-spectrum protection against phishing, BEC, malware and insider threats, with a new connector-based mode that enables seamless Microsoft 365 deployment in five steps — no MX record changes required.
TrustLayer’s nominations also comes on the heels of a major commercial milestone: its strategic collaboration with BT. TrustLayer now powers BT’s Complete Cloud Secure and Security Awareness Training offerings, supporting UK organisations with cloud-native protection across email, apps and users.
This partnership delivers frictionless layered security to thousands of businesses via BT, combining TrustLayer’s speed and scale with BT’s customer reach and service infrastructure. It also signals growing appetite for security solutions that work with modern workflows, not against them.
"Being nominated across two of the most competitive teiss categories is a huge validation of our vision. We’ve built a platform that meets the realities of the modern mid-market: fast to deploy, resilient by design and ready to scale. This momentum, combined with our collaboration with BT, is just the beginning. TrustLayer is here to change how businesses think about layered cloud security.
