The Online Trust Alliance (OTA), the non-profit with the mission to enhance online trust and empower users, announced the results of its 2014 Email Integrity Audit report, including its Email Trust Scorecard. Out of nearly 800 top consumer websites evaluated, OTA found only 8.3 percent of consumer facing web sites passed and thus 91.7 percent failed.
The overwhelming majority of businesses and government agencies are not following adequate steps to help ensure consumers and business partners can discern if emails coming from their domain are genuine or forged. The Scorecard measures the adoption of three critical email security protocols: Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC).
