What you get
- One row per client, for the previous calendar month: spam, phishing and malware totals, each message counted once, by the main threat Microsoft found in it.
- The same detections broken down by delivery action: quarantined, sent to Junk, delivered, blocked or rejected, as far as the client’s licence reports them.
- A filter on the client column, so an account manager can show one client their own numbers.
Before you start
- Each client’s tenant is connected to Neo: on the Companies page the company shows access granted (Grant access, or through GDAP). A client Neo cannot reach shows an error on its row; the other clients still load.
- Licensing: every Exchange Online tenant has the spam, phishing and malware counts. Safe Links, Safe Attachments, impersonation protection and zero-hour auto purge numbers need Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 or 2 (Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Plan 1). A tenant without it shows no rows for those, which is not an error.
- Retention: Microsoft keeps these reports for 90 days. The previous month is always there; a month older than 90 days cannot be read, so keep the schedule running to build up history.
- Exchange Online only: a client whose mailboxes are on Exchange Server (on-premises) has no Microsoft email security reports.
Set it up
1
Ask Neo Support for the dashboard
Open Dashboards, click New dashboard, and ask:Neo Support writes the read, adds the Mail Flow & Transport Exchange permission group and the End Companies Neo API group to the dashboard, and runs it once against your live data.
2
Check one client against the Defender portal
Pick one client and open its tenant’s Mailflow status report in the Defender portal for the same month, direction Inbound. Its spam, phishing and malware counts should match the dashboard’s totals for that client. The Threat protection status report can show fewer, because zero-hour auto purge removes some messages after delivery. If the totals differ, ask Neo Support on the dashboard: “the phishing total for this client does not match the Defender portal”.

Share it
Use Share for a link a client can open, or keep it to your team. See Dashboards.
