Sender Authentication (SPF)
Learn how it works
Info
6/7 pass
Sender Authentication (SPF)
SPF policy does not use strict fail mode
The SPF policy does not fully reject unauthorized senders.
Medium
Domain Alignment (DMARC)
Learn how it works
Info
0/7 pass
Domain Alignment (DMARC)
Multiple DMARC records found
The domain publishes more than one DMARC record, which makes DMARC evaluation invalid.
Critical
Certificate Binding (DANE)

Info
1/5 pass
Certificate Binding (DANE)
No MX host TLSA zone is protected by DNSSEC
None of the MX hosts have DNSSEC on their TLSA lookup zones. DANE SMTP cannot function without DNSSEC, as sending servers will ignore TLSA records from unsigned zones.
Critical
Transport Policy (MTA-STS)
Learn how it works
Info
1/6 pass
Transport Policy (MTA-STS)
MTA-STS DNS record is missing
The domain does not publish an MTA-STS TXT record, so sending servers cannot discover or enforce an MTA-STS policy.
High
TLS Reporting (TLS-RPT)
Learn how it works
Info
1/4 pass
TLS Reporting (TLS-RPT)
No TLS-RPT record found
The domain does not publish a TLS-RPT record. Sending servers cannot report TLS errors to this domain.

DNS Integrity (DNSSEC)
Learn how it works
Info
0/7 pass
DNS Integrity (DNSSEC)
DNSSEC is misconfigured (broken chain of trust)
The domain publishes DNSKEY records but the parent zone has no DS record, so the chain of trust is broken and validators treat the zone as insecure.

DNS Health (Delegation & Exposure)

Info
7/8 pass
DNS Health (Delegation & Exposure)
SOA serial does not use the recommended format
The SOA record is otherwise valid, but the serial number does not follow the recommended YYYYMMDDnn date format.
Low
CAA and Certificate Issuance Surface
Learn how it works
Info
1/6 pass
CAA and Certificate Issuance Surface
No CAA record is published
The domain does not publish a CAA record, so any publicly trusted certificate authority may issue certificates for it after standard validation.

TLS Configuration
Learn how it works
Info
3/6 pass
TLS Configuration
Deprecated TLS version accepted (TLS 1.0 / TLS 1.1)
The server accepts TLS 1.0 and/or TLS 1.1, both formally deprecated by RFC 8996. These versions lack support for modern authenticated encryption and are the underlying cause of several named attacks (e.g. BEAST against TLS 1.0 CBC ciphers).
High
TLS Configuration
Legacy cipher suites accepted (3DES / CBC in TLS 1.0)
The server accepts cipher suites weakened by the 64-bit block size of 3DES (SWEET32, CVE-2016-2183) and/or CBC-mode ciphers in TLS 1.0 (contributing factor to BEAST). Exploitation requires specific conditions (e.g. very large data transfers for SWEET32).
Medium
TLS Configuration
Weak elliptic curve accepted for key exchange
The server negotiates an elliptic curve below 256 bits for at least one ECDHE cipher suite. Weak curves reduce the effective security margin of the key exchange well below modern standards.

Disclosure Policy (security.txt)
Learn how it works
Info
0/4 pass
Disclosure Policy (security.txt)
security.txt is not present or not usable
The domain does not publish a usable security.txt file. Either both /.well-known/security.txt and /security.txt returned no file (404/401/403/410), or the location responded with HTTP 200 but non-text/plain content (typically an application page) or a body that is not valid UTF-8.
Medium
HTTP Security Headers
Learn how it works
Info
1/7 pass
HTTP Security Headers
HSTS is not enforced
The site does not send a usable Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers do not automatically upgrade future requests to HTTPS.
High
HTTP Security Headers
Content-Security-Policy is not enforced
The site does not send an enforced Content-Security-Policy header, leaving no restriction on script execution, framing, or resource loading beyond what other headers provide.
High
HTTP Security Headers
Clickjacking protection is missing
The site does not restrict framing through CSP frame-ancestors or a usable X-Frame-Options value, so it can be embedded in a frame on any origin.
High
HTTP Security Headers
MIME sniffing is not disabled
The site does not send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, so browsers may MIME-sniff a response and interpret it as a different, potentially executable content type.
High
HTTP Security Headers
Referrer-Policy is not declared
The site does not send a Referrer-Policy header. Modern browsers default to a reasonably safe behavior, but the site does not explicitly guarantee it.
Medium
HTTP Security Headers
Permissions-Policy is missing or ineffective
The site either does not send a Permissions-Policy header, or the header only lists directives with a wildcard allowlist that does not restrict anything.
