## Vendor risk summary
This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of CEA'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.

## Security categories

### Website Security

- Fail — CSP implemented unsafely
  - The Content Security Policy may not restrict sources appropriately, or may contain 'unsafe-inline' without the use of a nonce or hash. This increases the risk of XSS attacks.
- Fail — Specific ASP.NET version exposed via header
  - Exposing a specific ASP.NET version in the ASP.NET version header makes it easier for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. The website configuration should be changed to remove this header completely.
- Fail — Use of ASP.NET exposed via header
  - Exposing the ASP.NET version header indicates that the site is built with ASP.NET, which makes it easier for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. The website configuration should be changed to remove this header.
- 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 — CSP implemented without insecure active sources
  - The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure active sources.
- 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 — CSP implemented without insecure passive sources
  - The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure passive (img/media) sources.
- Pass — CSP implemented without unsafe-eval
  - A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.
- Pass — X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff
  - Browsers are prevented from interpreting files as a different MIME type to what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This helps mitigate MIME confusion attacks.
- Pass — No unmaintained page detected
  - The page appears to be maintained.

### Email

- Fail — DMARC policy not found
  - DMARC policy was not found. This makes it easier for attackers to send email from this domain. A DMARC policy should be deployed for this domain.
- 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 — 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.
- 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 — No subdomain takeover vulnerability detected
  - No dangling DNS records that could lead to subdomain takeover were detected.
- Pass — Domain does not expire soon
  - Domain does not expire within 30 days.
- Pass — CAA enabled
  - The domain contains a valid Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record indicates which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue certificates for a domain.

### Encryption

- Fail — HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) not enforced
  - Without HSTS enforced, people browsing this site are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. The server should be configured to support HSTS.
- Fail — Insecure SSL/TLS versions available
  - Any version of the SSL protocol, and TLS prior to version 1.2, are now considered insecure. The server should disable support for these old protocols.
- Fail — Weak cipher suites supported in TLS 1.2
  - 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.
- Pass — Certificate not found on our revoked certificate list
  - The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates.
- Pass — SSL available
  - SSL is supported for this site.
- Pass — HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS
  - All HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.
- Pass — Hostname matches SSL certificate
  - The site's hostname matches the SSL certificate.
- Pass — SSL has not expired
  - SSL certificate has not expired.
- Pass — Trusted SSL certificate
  - The certificate presented by this domain was issued by a trusted certificate authority.
- Pass — SSL certificate chain present in server response
  - A complete SSL certificate chain was presented by the server for this domain.
- Pass — SSL chain certificates do not expire within 20 days
  - SSL intermediate and root certificates do not expire within 20 days.
- Pass — SSL expiration period shorter than 398 days
  - The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days.
- Pass — SSL has more than 20% of its valid period remaining
  - SSL certificate does not expire in less than 20% of its total valid period.
- Pass — Strong SSL algorithm
  - Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use.
- Pass — Strong Diffie-Hellman prime used in key exchange
  - TLS connections to the site use a strong Diffie-Hellman prime during key exchange.
- Pass — Strong public certificate key length
  - The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength.

### Data leakage

- Pass — No infostealer malware detected
  - Our scans have not found any evidence of infostealer malware infections associated with this organisation's domain.
- Pass — No open cloud storage service detected
  - No cloud storage service configured to allow anonymous file listing was detected.
