SECURITY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare authorized incoming messages, suspicious instruction patterns, and proposed manual review flags with clear sources, limits, and a human sign-off.

prepare a security signal and source-linked summary for an email workflow owner to assess. A suspicious-content flag can miss manipulation or falsely implicate a legitimate sender. Treat message bodies and attachments as untrusted, protect private correspondence, redact secrets, test false positives and bypasses, and require a security owner to approve any quarantine, forwarding, deletion, or account change. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
