Web Application Protection
28%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
57.3%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

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

Email Spoofing Protection
6.7%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
4%
Sender Identity Unverified
4%
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
60%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
81.3%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
16%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
76%
Modern Encryption Adopted
25.3%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
5.3%
Session Token Exposure Risk

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

Unauthorized Access Vectors
5.3%
Unencrypted File Transfer Open
2.7%
Remote Desktop Accessible
4%
Mail Server Directly Accessible
4%
Database Port Accessible

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

Technology Maturity
25.3%
CDN Protected
14.7%
Management Panel Accessible
1.3%
Self-Signed Certificate

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

Certificate & Vulnerability Management
8%
Expiring <30d

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