Email Integrity Audit

Email security, authentication, and related best practices are the foundation of the Internet Society’s Online Trust Alliance work to promote the integrity of email and standards to counter email fraud and phishing. Three email authentication standards form one of the major components of the annual Online Trust Audit: Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC).

The Internet Society’s Online Trust Alliance annually published an Email Integrity Audit that provided an in-depth review of email security findings focusing on the best practices necessary to help detect and block spoofed and forged email to protect consumers and organizations’ brand integrity.
