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 — Unmaintained page detected - This domain appears to be unmaintained based on indicators like page content or status code. Unmaintained pages expand the attack surface for malicious actors. - 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 — ASP.NET version header not exposing specific ASP.net version - Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. - Pass — ASP.NET version header not exposed - Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. ### 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 not enabled - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is not present. This may allow spammers to send messages with forged addresses using this domain. The DNS record for the domain should be modified to include an SPF record. ### 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 — CAA not enabled - 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. - 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 registrar or registry update protection enabled - Domain is protected from unsolicited update requests with the registrar or registry. - 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. ### Encryption - Fail — Hostname does not match SSL certificate - The site's hostname does not match the SSL certificate. The domain name should be added to the certificate, either as a Subject Alternative Name or as the Common Name. - Fail — SSL expired - SSL certificate has expired. The certificate will need to be renewed for connections to your domain to be trusted. - 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 — Only weak cipher suites supported in TLS 1.2 - Weak cipher suites can potentially be broken by a well resourced attacker, and should not be used where possible. This server also does not appear to support any secure cipher suites, which means clients will either not be able to make a secure connection, or only make a weak one. - Fail — Weak Diffie-Hellman prime used in key exchange - Weak Diffie-Hellman primes can potentially be broken by organized groups or nation-state actors, allowing passive eavesdropping on traffic. It is recommended to use a 2048-bit or stronger Diffie-Hellman prime. - Pass — Certificate not found on our revoked certificate list - The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates. - Pass — SSL expiration period shorter than 398 days - The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days. - Pass — Strong SSL algorithm - Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use. - Pass — Strong public certificate key length - The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength. ### 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. ### Vulnerability Management - Pass — Not vulnerable to CVE-2014-0160 (Heartbleed) - 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. - Pass — Not vulnerable to CVE-2014-3566 (POODLE) - The server does not support SSLv3, and is not vulnerable to the POODLE attack. - Pass — Not vulnerable to CVE-2015-0204 (FREAK) - The server does not offer RSA_EXPORT cipher suites, so clients are not vulnerable to the FREAK attack. - Pass — Not vulnerable to CVE-2015-4000 (Logjam) - The server is using strong Diffie-Hellman parameters and is not vulnerable to the Logjam attack. --- Full interactive report: https://www.upguard.com/security-report/tim-farrel-architects-pty Security Reports Policy: https://www.upguard.com/security-report-policy
