Office 365 Mail Protection Reports

Out of the box, Office 365 offers more than 30 excellent reports for its various services, covering all the important aspects, from mailbox to traffic statistics, from Lync to SharePoint.

These reports can be found under reports in the Admin Dashboard. As a side note, please be aware that Exchange Online reports are only visible if you have at least one Exchange Online license within your account.
