DMARC Analyzer 2.0 - Workflow Manager

This article contains information on the DMARC implementation workflow, detailing tasks for domain policy changes, vendor compliance via SPF/DKIM, and data-driven progress tracking to ensure email authentication and domain protection.

DMARC Implementation workflow

• Analysis of data
• Planning and executing the next actions
• Monitoring changes
• (Repeat)

DMARC workflow applies to a domain

• Domain moves through various policy states
• Within the scope of a domain, various vendors could send email
• All vendors need to be compliant to allow moving to a different policy state
• Vendors are made compliant by SPF and DKIM authentication (aligned)

Workflow

1. Consists of tasks:

•  
  •  
    •  
      •  
        • That serves the goal of allowing a domain to change policy state
        • That allows vendor compliance across domains

2. Based on available DMARC data tasks can be assigned (based on vendor)

•  
  •  
    •  
      •  
        • Assigned tasks are driven by data
        • The user can confirm task has been performed, data is used to confirm
        • Domain can have multiple tasks
        • Vendor could have 1 task for multiple domains

3. Tasks/progress/project is trackable
4. All combined can suggest a data-driven DMARC implementation approach
5. The system offers suggestions based on trends/analytics and data when it is possible to move to the next state to protect domains.
6. Can predict what would happen in a specific policy situation, based on DMARC logic
