Microsoft by default enables safe links policy that analyses all links inside an email and restricts its access if it is indicated as a phishing link.

To ensure the successful execution of phishing simulation, we encourage companies to whitelist our URLs by creating a safe links policy. This article will help you with the process of creating a safe links policy for Right-Hand URLs.
