This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of Bupa UK's security posture using open-source, commercial, and proprietary threat intelligence feeds. 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.
DMARC reject policy provides the most effective protection against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.
DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record strictly enforces specific domains allowed to send email on its behalf.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.
DMARC policy percentage is set to default 100%, ensuring all mail is covered by the policy.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.
The 'HTTP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity. DNSSEC should be configured for this domain.
The domain does not contain a valid Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record indicates which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue certificates for a domain.
No unregistered MX records that could lead to receiving mail on behalf of the target organization were detected.
Without HSTS enforced, people browsing this site are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. The server should be configured to support HSTS.
There is an invalid or missing intermediate certificate. This can cause some browsers to break the padlock. An intermediate/chain certificate may need to be installed to link it to a trusted root certificate.
The domain was not found on the HSTS preload list. Users who visit the website for the first time will be vulnerable to MITM attacks. The requirements for inclusion on the preload list are specified by hstspreload.org.
The HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header does not contain the includeSubDomains directive. This directive instructs the browser to also enforce the HSTS policy over subdomains of this domain.
Weak cipher suites can potentially be broken by a well resourced attacker, and should not be supported by the server unless very old devices or browsers must be supported.
The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates.
SSL is supported for this site.
All HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.
The site's hostname matches the SSL certificate.
SSL certificate has not expired.
The certificate presented by this domain was issued by a trusted certificate authority.
No insecure SSL/TLS versions are available for this site.
SSL intermediate and root certificates do not expire within 20 days.
The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days.
SSL certificate does not expire in less than 20% of its total valid period.
Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use.
TLS connections to the site use a strong Diffie-Hellman prime during key exchange.
The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a source of botnet activity 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.
This IP/domain has been reported for distributing malware in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported for performing unsolicited scanning in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a phishing site in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a source of botnet activity 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.
This IP/domain has been reported for distributing malware in the last 90 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported for performing unsolicited scanning in the last 90 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a phishing site in the last 90 days.
A bug in OpenSSL's implementation of the TLS heartbeat extension allows access to portions of memory on the targeted host e.g. cryptographic keys and passwords.
The server does not support SSLv3, and is not vulnerable to the POODLE attack.
The server does not offer RSA_EXPORT cipher suites, so clients are not vulnerable to the FREAK attack.
The server is using strong Diffie-Hellman parameters and is not vulnerable to the Logjam attack.
