MECSA is an online tool developed by the Joint Research Centre to assess the security of email communications between email providers; Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) servers. Email communications continue to be one of the most widespread forms of digital communications with thousands of millions of emails exchanged on a daily basis. It is estimated that 72% of the European population use email either in mobile phones, tablets or computers. It is the means of digital communication used by most Europeans on a daily basis. The importance of the protection of these new forms of digital communications over Internet, including email, has been further highlighted in the latest policy initiatives of the Commission. Moreover, when personal data is exchanged over email, the General Data Protection Regulation requires that appropriate technical and organisational measures are put in place to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the relevant processing systems and services. MECSA is the outcome of our research on the security of email communications. It servers a triple purpose. Firstly, it allows us to monitor the adoption of modern email security standards in the current ecosystem of email providers, assessing their capability to protect the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the email exchange amongst them. Secondly, MECSA aims to become a one-stop shop for email users to receive an indication of the capability of their email providers to protect their email exchange in the communication with other providers of the ecosystem. Finally, MECSA aims to become a reference tool for professionals and a mean to promote the adoption of modern email security standards in Europe. In 2018, MECSA carried out over 15.000 assessments, analysing a total of 4836 unique email providers. In this report, we present the methodology followed, statistics about the results obtained and a set of highlights and recommendations based on the research carried out on this topic.
