Illustrative idea · EMAIL SECURITY
Review a reported suspicious message
Give a security analyst the original message context and a clear review path.
Give people and security responders the right context about a quarantined email.
Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.
When a suspicious message is quarantined, gather its sender, subject, recipient, and reported rule findings. Prepare a private notice for the intended recipient and flag messages marked as opened for security review; a human analyst decides whether an incident case is warranted.
Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
Quarantined email alertA security alert describing a potentially malicious email held from delivery
“Gather the email details, prepare a recipient notice, and highlight whether the message was opened so an analyst can review before any case or message is finalized.”
Work through the request.
Clear tasks, with review where it matters.
- Review the quarantine alert
- Check whether the message was opened
- Prepare a private security summary
A private, review-ready email summary; opened messages are flagged for analyst assessment, with incident creation and recipient communication held for approval.
What this workflow could do
Helps security teams coordinate a response to quarantined email while making message exposure and recipient follow-up easier to assess.
Review points proposed in this idea
Quarantine and an opened status are important evidence, not a final incident determination. A security analyst must assess the message, user activity, and flagged rules, approve any incident record, and review the exact recipient and wording before a notice is sent. Keep investigation details restricted to the response team.
How the idea could work
Select an illustrative task to explore its proposed role. No workflow runs here.
-
Gather the reported sender, subject, recipient, message time, and reasons the email was held.
-
Use the recorded open status as a review signal and flag missing or ambiguous activity information.
-
Organize the message details and flagged findings for the security team without declaring an incident from the alert alone.
-
Ask an authorized responder to review the email, rule findings, and available user context before deciding the appropriate incident response.
-
Require the analyst to approve whether a case is needed and verify the exact recipient, wording, and internal audience before any message is sent.
Step 1 of 5
Review the quarantine alert
Gather the reported sender, subject, recipient, message time, and reasons the email was held.
Proposed setup considerations
These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.
- 01
Choose the email alerts in scope
Select which quarantine notices and message details are needed for security review.
- 02
Define how opened messages are handled
Document which activity details indicate possible exposure and route incomplete or uncertain records to an analyst.
- 03
Restrict notices and assign reviewers
Choose a private security destination, identify the user-notice approver, and limit access to sensitive email details.
- 04
Test opened, unopened, and incomplete cases
Check representative alerts and confirm that incident creation and user communication remain subject to human approval.
