Email Audit
Introduction
A FirstWave ESP™ Email Audit tells you how your employees use your email system: The good and bad, legal and illegal, safe and dangerous; how much of their email is work and how much is non-work related – and what it all costs your company.
The audit also identifies possible security gaps that would count against you in court if you were charged with breaches of Australian security/privacy/company law
How it works
FirstWave sets up the audit for you. There’s no hardware to buy, no software to install, no bodies to hire and nothing that interferes with the delivery of your email. You simply redirect your email flow through FirstWave’s ‘in the cloud’ auditing system.
ESP™ captures copies of all your inbound and/or outbound emails for one month, checking for virus, spam and offences such as cyber-bullying or employees sending pornography to friends and colleagues. ESP™ also identifies any potential IP and data theft by employees.
Benefits
After the audit, you’ll receive a simple-to-understand written and graphical report that shows:
- Who’s wasting your valuable IT storage space (cartoons, videos, personal email) and how much of it they’re using.
- Percentages/numbers of staff business and non-business emails and attachments.
- Potentially dangerous inbound and outbound staff email activity (pornography, cyberbullying, plus any ‘sensitive’ materials that could be stolen and emailed out of the company).
- All blocked virus and spam for the period.
You'll be able to make valid assessments on how much time each employee spends on non- work activities - and how much they cost you in terms of lost productivity and unnecessary downloads. FirstWave then can advise you on steps to protect your business going forward.
