## Overview

When an organization doesn’t use custom branding templates, people outside the company who receive encrypted messages could see a generic Microsoft‑branded portal. Because the portal doesn’t reflect the organization’s identity, recipients can be less confident about where the message came from.

Custom branding templates let organizations add their logo, colors, disclaimers, and contact details to the portal. These elements help the portal look familiar to recipients and can support trust when they view and interact with encrypted messages.

## Remediation

- [Add your organization's brand to your encrypted messages](https://learn.microsoft.com/purview/add-your-organization-brand-to-encrypted-messages?wt.mc_id=zerotrustrecommendations_automation_content_cnl_csasci)

## Run it

The check runs as part of the whole assessment, with the ZeroTrustAssessment module installed:

```powershell
Install-Module ZeroTrustAssessment -Scope CurrentUser
Connect-Maester
Invoke-Maester -Pack ZTA -SkipBuiltIn
```

Leave out `-SkipBuiltIn` to run Maester's own checks in the same run.
