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 ### Email - Fail — DMARC policy is p=none - DMARC policy is p=none. This provides no protection against fraudulent emails. The DMARC policy should be migrated to p=quarantine, and eventually p=reject. - Fail — SPF policy uses ~all - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is too lenient as to which domains are allowed to send email on the domain's behalf. This record should preferably not use the ~all mechanism, as this does not instruct the mail receiver to reject messages from unauthorised sources. When DMARC is not being enforced, -all should be used on the SPF record. - Pass — DMARC policy exists - DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain. - Pass — SPF enabled - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records prevent spammers from sending messages with forged addresses. - Pass — SPF syntax correct - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks. - 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. DNSSEC should be configured for this domain. - Fail — Domain registrar or registry deletion protection not enabled - Domain is not protected from unsolicited deletion requests with the registrar or registry. The domain should have clientDeleteProhibited or serverDeleteProhibited set. - Fail — Domain registrar or registry update protection not enabled - Domain is not protected from unsolicited update requests with the registrar or registry. The domain should have clientUpdateProhibited or serverUpdateProhibited set. - Pass — No unregistered MX records detected - No unregistered MX records that could lead to receiving mail on behalf of the target organization were detected. - Pass — Domain has not expired - Domain has not expired. - Pass — Domain does not expire soon - Domain does not expire within 30 days. - Pass — Domain not flagged as inactive - Domain is not flagged as inactive. - Pass — Domain not pending deletion - Domain is not pending deletion with the registrar. - Pass — Domain not pending restoration - Domain is not pending restoration with the registrar. - Pass — Domain registrar or registry transfer protection enabled - Domain is protected from unsolicited transfer requests. - Pass — Domain free of registrar DNS resolution hold - Domain is not under a DNS resolution hold with the registrar. - Pass — Domain free of registry DNS resolution hold - Domain is not under a DNS resolution hold with the registry itself. - Pass — Domain renewal not prohibited by registry - Domain is not prohibited from renewal at the registry itself. ### IP/Domain Reputation - Pass — No reports of botnet activity in the last 30 days - This IP/domain has not been reported as a source of botnet activity in the last 30 days. - Pass — No reports of brute force login attempts in the last 30 days - This IP/domain did not appear on any list of IPs and domains known to perform brute force login attempts in the last 30 days. - Pass — No reports of malware distribution in the last 30 days - This IP/domain has been reported for distributing malware in the last 30 days. - Pass — No reports of unsolicited scanning in the last 30 days - This IP/domain has not been reported for performing unsolicited scanning in the last 30 days. - Pass — No reports of phishing activity in the last 30 days - This IP/domain has not been reported as a phishing site in the last 30 days. - Pass — No reports of botnet activity in the last 90 days - This IP/domain has not been reported as a source of botnet activity in the last 90 days. - Pass — No reports of brute force login attempts in the last 90 days - This IP/domain did not appear on any list of IPs and domains known to perform brute force login attempts in the last 90 days. - Pass — No reports of malware distribution in the last 90 days - This IP/domain has been reported for distributing malware in the last 90 days. - Pass — No reports of unsolicited scanning in the last 90 days - This IP/domain has not been reported for performing unsolicited scanning in the last 90 days. - Pass — No reports of phishing activity in the last 90 days - This IP/domain has not been reported as a phishing site in the last 90 days. --- Full interactive report: https://www.upguard.com/security-report/americanrailcar Security Reports Policy: https://www.upguard.com/security-report-policy
