This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of IDnow'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.
When secure cookies are not used, there is an increased risk of third parties intercepting information contained in these cookies. The website configuration should be changed so that all 'Set-Cookie' headers include 'secure'.
No valid Content Security Policy is implemented. This increases the risk of XSS and clickjacking attacks.
When HttpOnly cookies are not used, the cookies can be accessed on the client, which enables certain type of client-side attacks. The website configuration should be changed to enforce HttpOnly cookies.
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.
Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.
Browsers are prevented from displaying this website's content in frames. This helps mitigate clickjacking attacks.
The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

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.
