Abstract
Methods and systems for managing data communications are described. The method includes receiving a data communication; analyzing the data communication to determine a particular type of sender or recipient activity associated with the data communication based at least in part on an application of a plurality of tests to the data communication; assigning a total risk level to the data communication based at least in part on one or more risks associated with the particular type of sender or recipient activity and a tolerance for each of the one or more risks; comparing the total risk level assigned to the data communication with a maximum total acceptable level of risk; and allowing the data communication to be delivered to a recipient in response to the comparison indicating that the total risk level assigned to the data communication does not exceed the maximum total acceptable level of risk.
