Email Security Protocols
Our email security protocols focus on authentication, encryption, and access control to defend against unauthorized access and phishing attempts.
Authentication Methods
We use SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to verify sender legitimacy and reduce spoofed emails reaching our inboxes.
Encryption Standards
TLS is enforced for all SMTP sessions, and sensitive messages can be sent via S/MIME for end-to-end encryption when needed.
Team Collaboration Guidelines
Clear subject lines, concise message bodies, and consistent folder structures help our team emails remain actionable and easy to search.
Subject Line Best Practices
Include project codes, priority levels, and concise summaries so recipients can triage messages without opening each email.
Internal Distribution Rules
Use the cc field for awareness and the bcc field only when privacy is required, avoiding reply-all unless critical to decision progress.
Email Archiving and Retention
Automated archiving keeps important decisions traceable while meeting regulatory requirements for record retention periods.
Storage Policies
Emails older than two years are moved to long-term archival storage, with special holds applied for active legal matters.
Search and Retrieval
Unified search across archives allows our team to locate correspondence quickly using senders, keywords, and date ranges.
Ongoing Maintenance and Optimization
Regular reviews of mailbox sizes, rule configurations, and connected devices keep our email infrastructure performant and secure.
- Enable multi-factor authentication for all accounts.
- Review mail flow rules quarterly with the IT team.
- Monitor login alerts for unusual geographic access patterns.
- Archive completed projects to reduce mailbox bloat.
- Test backup email workflows during scheduled drills.
