Proofpoint Supervision

Digital Communications Governance


There’s no such thing as a world without false positives. But at least you can have modern tools for mitigating your compliance risk. With Proofpoint Supervision, you can use deep insights, machine learning and more to perform digital and email monitoring. This enables you to meet your corporate and regulatory compliance requirements.

Features and Benefits

Stay compliant and use machine learning to optimize review

Smarter Review

Your reviewers don’t need to work harder; they need to work smarter. Proofpoint Supervision creates less “noise” for your review teams to monitor and sift through. That means you can pinpoint compliance violations faster and more accurately. Here are just a few of the benefits of email and compliance monitoring:

  • Advanced violation detection. Ignore pre-approved content and waste less time reviewing false positives.
  • Intelligent sampling by message type. Skip low-risk content, including bulk email.
  • Violation previews. Decide whether to review without having to read the entire message body.
  • Advanced message filters. Target, refine and prioritize the review queue.
  • Conversation threading. Group and review related messages in a single step.
  • Review Sets. Build custom review queues from scratch results.

AI for Reduced False Positives

Proofpoint Automate is an add-on to Proofpoint Supervision. With its machine learning models, it can use past reviewer decisions to help significantly reduce your low-value supervision content.

  • Adaptive targeted culling. Significantly reduce false positives, so you can spend more time on high-value content.
  • Organizational reach. Deploy to all monitored users, and leverage visibility and insights at scale.
  • Flexible ecosystem. Use out-of-box machine learning models, build your own, or have Proofpoint build or customize models for you.
