Web Application Protection
25.4%
Vulnerable to Session Hijacking
46%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
22.2%
Vulnerable to Clickjacking
66.7%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

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

Email Spoofing Protection
3.2%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation

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

DNS & Domain Security
77.8%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
79.4%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
15.9%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
81%
Modern Encryption Adopted
17.5%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
9.5%
Session Token Exposure Risk
4.8%
Cookies Missing HttpOnly

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

Unauthorized Access Vectors
11.1%
Unencrypted File Transfer Open
9.5%
Mail Server Directly Accessible
1.6%
Database Port Accessible

Exposed administrative interfaces provide direct attack vectors for unauthorized access and lateral movement across internal systems.

Technology Maturity

CDN Protected
7.9%
Management Panel Accessible
6.3%
Self-Signed Certificate
3.2%
End-of-Life Software

Modern infrastructure investment correlates with lower breach probability. Exposed administration panels and legacy software create easily exploitable entry points.

Expiring <30d
7.9%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities
4.8%
Active Exploitation (CISA KEV)

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