Connector

Mimecast

API credential, entered client by client.

Hosted email security. On Cloud Gateway deployments Vigicap reads the anti-spoofing policy and outbound DKIM signing; on Cloud Integrated, the consolidated policy (active or monitor-only mode, sandbox, URL rewriting, impersonation protection). Mimecast's API does not publish sandbox or URL-protection configuration on Cloud Gateway, so the level is capped there and the rest must be checked in the console.

What to create in the tool

The access is created in Mimecast, not in Vigicap. Vigicap never asks for an administrator's password: it expects an API credential that you create, that you can see, and that you can revoke without us.

Where to generate it

Administration Console > Services > API and Platform Integrations > API 2.0 : créez une application et relevez le Client ID et le Client Secret. Laissez l'adresse vide pour l'hôte mondial, ou indiquez uk-api.services.mimecast.com / us-api.services.mimecast.com si votre contrat impose la résidence des données.

Minimum role

Application API 2.0 créée dans Mimecast Administration Console > Services > API and Platform Integrations. Les lectures de ce connecteur demandent « Gateway | Policies | Read » (anti-usurpation et signature DKIM sortante), « Account | Dashboard | Read » (forfaits et volumétrie) et « Account | Monitoring | Held Summary | Read » (messages retenus). Attention : la lecture de la politique Cloud Integrated exige un rôle beaucoup plus large — Mimecast ne publie que super-admin, full-admin ou partner-admin pour cet appel, il n'existe aucun rôle en lecture seule pour cette partie.

Taken from the vendor's own role model, and checked before publication.

What to enter in Vigicap

The exact fields of the connection form, in the order they appear. Values marked “secret” never travel back to the browser: they are encrypted at rest and deleted on disconnection.

The form starts with the instance address, entered separately from the fields below. The public catalogue does not yet publish whether this connector needs one, or what it looks like — so this list is exact about everything else, and silent about that first field.

Per-client routing

The connection is made client by client: one credential per client, entered on that client's record. Nothing is shared between two clients, and disconnecting one leaves the other untouched.

What it does, and what it does not do

ReCyF objectives it pre-fills

A reading feeds one objective of the ANSSI ReCyF framework. It PROPOSES it: the level only counts once a consultant has confirmed it.

Read-only

The reads are read-only: Vigicap writes nothing into the tool while reading it.

What is read, what is kept, for how long and with which rights: the same register, connector by connector, in the data inventory.

Verification

The API is public and documented, but it can only be reached with a paid subscription the vendor issues no trial for: there is no instance we can obtain to run it against. This is not “not yet done” — it would take a customer lending us their tenant.
