Compliance Timeline

The Compliance Timeline tracks your domain's journey toward full DMARC enforcement. It shows a 90-day progression of your readiness score and highlights milestones achieved along the way.

Accessing the Timeline

Navigate to DMARC → Compliance Timeline. Select your domain to view its enforcement journey.

Readiness Score

SpoofWard calculates a readiness score (0-100%) based on:

• Policy maturity — Your current DMARC policy level (none → quarantine → reject)
• Authentication pass rate — Percentage of email passing SPF/DKIM alignment
• Vendor compliance — How many discovered senders are properly configured
• DNS health — Whether your DNS records are correctly configured

Milestones

The timeline highlights key events:

• DMARC record first configured
• First DMARC report received
• Pass rate exceeded 80%, 90%, 95%
• Policy upgraded to quarantine
• Policy upgraded to reject
• All senders authenticated

Blockers

If your readiness score isn't improving, the timeline identifies blockers:

• Senders still failing authentication
• Missing SPF or DKIM configuration
• DNS health issues preventing progression
