SUSPICIOUS EMAIL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Give security teams a clearer view of suspicious emails.

Bring the message, its visible appearance, and delivery details together so a security analyst can review possible phishing indicators in context. Prepare a concise incident summary and supporting image for the team, keeping decisions about the message and any follow-up with a human reviewer.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A message in an approved work mailbox that needs a security check

“Organize the message and its delivery details, highlight possible phishing signals, and prepare a review record without deciding what happens to the email.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps security teams assess suspicious email using both the message content and how it appears to the recipient.

  1. Select a message for security review

    Confirm that the message is in scope and that the reviewer is authorized to inspect its contents and delivery details.

  2. Preserve the original message context

    Keep the original sender, subject, content, and relevant delivery information available so an analyst can verify the review.

  3. Review the message as it appears

    Prepare a visual copy of the message and flag unusual links, requests, branding, or other details for inspection.

  4. Summarize possible phishing indicators

    Organize the observed concerns and distinguish visible evidence from uncertain interpretation.

  5. Prepare a restricted incident record

    Give the security team a source-linked case with the review summary and supporting image, limited to authorized responders.

  6. Decide on response with an analyst

    Require a security professional to verify the evidence and approve any blocking, reporting, deletion, or external message.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Keep in mind

Email content and attachments can contain personal or confidential information, and a visual or security assessment can be wrong. Limit access and retention, preserve the original for an authorized analyst, and require a person to decide whether to block, report, delete, or contact anyone about the message.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose mailboxes and messages in scope

Define which work mailboxes and message types may be reviewed and who is allowed to inspect them.

Set privacy and evidence handling rules

Limit access to message content and images, decide what evidence is retained, and follow the organization’s retention requirements.

Choose the security review destination

Select a restricted incident queue and identify the responders responsible for assessing possible phishing.

Test common and uncertain examples

Review legitimate messages, obvious impersonation, suspicious links, and incomplete evidence; confirm no message is blocked or reported without a person’s decision.
