How can senders audit security in ESP dashboards?

ESP dashboards provide tools for auditing security within your account. Regular review catches issues before they become problems.

Access audit areas:

User management: Review who has account access. Remove departed team members. Verify appropriate permission levels. Check when users last logged in.

API key inventory: List all active API keys. Identify unused keys for deletion. Verify key scopes match intended use. Note creation dates and creators.

Activity logs: Review login history for unusual access. Check for failed login attempts. Look for unexpected geographic locations. Monitor administrative actions (list changes, sends).

Authentication settings: Confirm 2FA is enabled for all users. Review password policies. Check session timeout settings.

Regular audit tasks:

Monthly review of user access

Quarterly API key audit

Review activity logs for anomalies

Verify security settings haven't been weakened

Check for new features or security options

What to look for:

Unknown users with access

API keys you don't recognize

Login attempts from unusual locations

Changes you didn't authorize

Test or development keys in production

Document your audit process and schedule regular reviews. Many security incidents could be caught earlier with routine auditing.
