Detailed external checks

The evidence behind the rating. 55 checks across 8 categories, 7 currently failing. Failed checks are listed first.

Website Security

  • CSP allows insecure active sources

    The Content Security Policy on this site allows insecure active content.

  • CSP contains unsafe-eval

    The Content Security Policy is implemented with unsafe-eval, reducing protection against XSS attacks.

  • CSP implemented without broad sources

    A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.

  • CSP implemented without insecure passive sources

    The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure passive (img/media) sources.

Email

  • DMARC policy is p=quarantine

    The DMARC policy should be set to p=reject for maximum protection.

  • DMARC policy exists

    DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.

  • Strict SPF filtering - not using +all

    Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record strictly enforces specific domains allowed to send email on its behalf.

  • SPF syntax correct

    Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.

  • DMARC policy percentage is default

    DMARC policy percentage is set to default 100%, ensuring all mail is covered by the policy.

  • SPF ptr mechanism not used

    Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.

Network

  • 'HTTP' port open

    The 'HTTP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.

DNS

  • 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.

    Domain has not expired.

  • Domain does not expire soon

    Domain does not expire within 30 days.

  • Domain not flagged as inactive

    Domain is not flagged as inactive.

  • Domain not pending deletion

    Domain is not pending deletion with the registrar.

  • Domain not pending restoration
