Web Application Protection
12.1%
Vulnerable to Session Hijacking
43.9%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
48.5%
Vulnerable to Clickjacking
56.1%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

Missing security headers expose web applications to clickjacking, injection, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Email Spoofing Protection
9.1%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
4.5%
Sender Identity Unverified
4.5%
No Email Authentication

Organizations without proper email authentication controls allow attackers to impersonate their domain — enabling phishing campaigns and business email compromise.

DNS & Domain Security
89.4%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
81.8%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
18.2%
Unencrypted Access Possible

Unprotected domain infrastructure allows attackers to intercept resolution and issue unauthorized certificates — redirecting customers to attacker-controlled systems.

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness

Modern Encryption Adopted
18.2%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
9.1%
Session Token Exposure Risk
13.6%
Cookies Missing HttpOnly

Modern encryption standards and coordinated disclosure programs demonstrate security maturity. Weak session management exposes user credentials to interception.

Expiring <30d
6.1%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities
6.1%
Active Exploitation (CISA KEV)

Expired or expiring certificates cause service disruptions and reduce trust. Known CVEs indicate unpatched, exploitable vulnerabilities.
