Web Application Protection
52.1%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
50.7%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

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

Email Spoofing Protection
9.6%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
2.7%
Sender Identity Unverified
2.7%
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
91.8%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
93.2%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
13.7%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
76.7%
Modern Encryption Adopted
26%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
9.6%
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
1.4%
Unencrypted File Transfer Open
1.4%
Database Port Accessible

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

Technology Maturity
34.2%
CDN Protected
13.7%
Management Panel Accessible
2.7%
Self-Signed Certificate
1.4%
End-of-Life Software

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

Certificate & Vulnerability Management
4.1%
Expiring <30d
8.2%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities

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