How often should I conduct a deliverability audit?

Audit frequency recommendations:

Full comprehensive audit: Annually at minimum. Complete review of all systems and practices.

Light quarterly review: Check key metrics, authentication validity, reputation status. Quick health check.

Triggered audits: Immediately when placement problems arise, after ESP migration, after major list changes, after infrastructure modifications.

Continuous monitoring: Not a replacement for audits, but catches issues between formal reviews.

More frequent audits for high-volume or high-stakes senders. Less frequent acceptable for lower risk programs.

Annual inspections with quarterly check-ins. Emergency reviews when trouble appears.
