Threat Analysis: Why Your Email Marketing Database Needs Regular Protection

Stronger deliverability starts with the removal of harmful records before they reach your campaigns.

Threat Analysis protects your email marketing database from harmful data that lowers deliverability and reduces direct revenue. The review identifies unsafe, invalid, or risky email addresses and gives your team a clear suppression file so you can safeguard your CRM. You receive a full report plus a cleaned list flagged by status, ready to use in any system.

What a Threat Analysis Does for Your Email Marketing Database

A Threat Analysis examines the health of your data. It reviews domains, engagement, and sources to identify entries that threaten deliverability. You stop issues before they spread across your CRM or ESP.

What the review finds:

• Spam traps that damage reputation

• Role-based or invalid email addresses

• Disposable emails

• High-risk OTA or auto-generated domains

• Duplicate records tied to the same guest

• Entries that produce bounces or spam complaints

Why Healthy Data Protects Deliverability

Poor-quality records weaken your sender reputation and limit your reach. When inbox providers detect risky addresses in your sends, they downgrade your sender score. That reduces inbox placement and lowers the impact of every campaign.

Unhealthy data leads to:

• More sends landing in spam

• Reduced visibility for lifecycle emails

• Lower engagement across all segments

• Lost revenue from guests who never see your message

The Deliverables You Receive

Your Threat Analysis includes two key deliverables, both built to protect your email marketing database and improve CRM accuracy.

You receive:

• A full Threat Analysis report with domain scoring, risk categories, and record-level detail

• A copy of your database returned with each record labeled as safe, suspicious, or unsafe

Your team uses the unsafe records as a suppression list in your CRM. Your clean records remain ready for segmentation and campaigns. All outputs are CRM agnostic, so they work with any platform.

How the Report Helps Your Team

How the Report Helps Your TeamThe report shows you where risks originate and how they affect performance. It highlights OTA-driven emails, outdated PMS imports, and legacy lists that have accumulated junk data.

Common findings:

• OTA emails inflate segment counts without driving revenue

• Disposable domains appear inside old imports

• Spam traps hide in outdated acquisition sources

• Duplicate profiles scatter behavior across multiple records

Why Regular Threat Analysis Matters

Threat levels increase as databases age. New system imports, staff changes, seasonal acquisitions, and legacy data can introduce risky addresses into your email marketing database. Regular Threat Analysis keeps your CRM clean and improves deliverability throughout the year.

Teams gain:

• Higher inbox placement

• More accurate and reliable segmentation

• Safer performance for automated journeys

• Stronger campaign results during high-demand seasons
