Reporting is a fundamental feature for any email security solution. Administrators need reports for an easy, at-a-glance system overview, to be able to demonstrate antispam and email threat protection effectiveness,
and to be able to easily drill down for additional detail. Administrators may also need to provide reports to management, proving the value of their investment in an antispam and email security solution.

Government, industry, and internal email use standards may also require reports to support audit procedures. For example, some regulations, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) that applies to companies that accept credit card payments, require organizations to use and regularly update antivirus protection.

Companies may also want to use reports to support internal best use practices. For example, reports showing which users receive the most spam or viruses are helpful in reviewing employee Internet practices and can provide tips to help employees reduce the number of threats received.

With in-depth system insight, customers can feel confident in routing their emails through a SaaS (Software as a Service) email security service.
