Overview of Phase 2

Phase 2 involves analysing data and thereafter enhancing the customer's SPF authentication and DKIM signing across infrastructure.

Key Steps

1. Identifying legitimate sending systems/services/platforms and their business owners.
2. Researching capabilities/limitations of SPF and DKIM for each system.
3. Identifying any missing authentication components for systems/services/platforms.
4. Logging internal change control approvals for changes.
5. Updating any missing/new SPF record entries within the DMARC Manager Platform.
6. Creating DKIM keys within the respective systems/services/platforms.
7. Creating DKIM Keys (CNAME/TXT records) within the DMARC Manager Platform.
8. Verify changes using a public DNS query tool and reviewing effectiveness of changes.

This phase may take 30-60 days depending on the complexity of the implementation and required change approval processes.
