The results are summarized into a security rating based on the analysis of hundreds of individual checks across five risk categories: website security, email security, phishing & malware, brand & reputation risk, and network security. ## Security categories ### Website Security - Fail — X-Frame-Options is not deny or sameorigin - Browsers may display this website's content in frames. This can lead to clickjacking attacks. - Fail — CSP is not implemented - No valid Content Security Policy is implemented. This increases the risk of XSS and clickjacking attacks. - Fail — X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff - Browsers may interpret files as a different MIME type than what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This can lead to MIME confusion attacks. - Pass — Server information header not exposed - Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. - Pass — X-Powered-By header not exposed - Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured. - Pass — Referrer policy is not unsafe-url - The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header. - Pass — ASP.NET version header not exposing specific ASP.net version - Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. - Pass — ASP.NET version header not exposed - Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. - Pass — No unmaintained page detected - The page appears to be maintained. ### Email - Fail — DMARC policy is p=quarantine - The DMARC policy should be set to p=reject for maximum protection. - Pass — DMARC policy exists - DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain. - Pass — Strict SPF filtering - not using +all - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record strictly enforces specific domains allowed to send email on its behalf. - Pass — SPF syntax correct - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks. - Pass — DMARC policy percentage is default - DMARC policy percentage is set to default 100%, ensuring all mail is covered by the policy. - Pass — SPF ptr mechanism not used - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism. ### Network - Pass — No ports are open - No open ports were detected. ### DNS - Fail — DNSSEC not enabled - DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity.
