TLS Tracking

Transport Layer Security Tracking

01.
What is TLS Tracking?

TLS Tracking provides continuous visibility into the transport security capabilities of your email infrastructure. By monitoring the mail servers responsible for receiving email, organisations can verify whether modern encryption standards and trusted certificates are in place.

Unlike one-time assessments or periodic audits, TLS Tracking continuously evaluates the security posture of your mail infrastructure. This helps organisations understand whether their email environment remains aligned with current security expectations as systems, providers and certificates change over time.

02.
Why TLS matters

Email security does not stop with authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC. While these technologies help verify sender identity, secure transport between mail servers is equally important for protecting messages while they are in transit.

Outdated TLS versions, invalid certificates and weak configurations can reduce security, create interoperability issues and increase the risk of delivery problems. As security standards continue to evolve, organisations need visibility into how their mail infrastructure performs against modern expectations.

03.
Continuous verification

Email environments are constantly changing. Certificates expire, mail providers update their infrastructure, cloud services are migrated and security standards continue to evolve. A configuration that was considered secure last year may no longer satisfy today's requirements.

Continuous monitoring helps organisations identify changes before they create operational or security issues. It also provides a historical view of how the security posture of mail infrastructure evolves over time, making troubleshooting and decision-making significantly easier.

How MailReport helps

MailReport continuously evaluates the TLS capabilities of your email infrastructure and translates technical findings into actionable insight. By combining protocol analysis, certificate validation and infrastructure monitoring, MailReport helps organisations maintain visibility into an area of email security that is often overlooked.

This allows you to:

  • Verify support for TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3
  • Validate certificates and trust chains
  • Detect weak or outdated configurations
  • Monitor changes across your mail infrastructure

The result is greater visibility into the operational health of your email infrastructure, helping ensure that secure transport remains secure not just today, but over time.
