Web Application Protection
47.9%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
60.6%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

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

Email Spoofing Protection
8.5%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
5.6%
Sender Identity Unverified
4.2%
No Email Authentication

DNS & Domain Security
81.7%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
76.1%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
15.5%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
81.7%
Modern Encryption Adopted
23.9%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
11.3%
Session Token Exposure Risk

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

Unencrypted File Transfer Open
7%
Remote Desktop Accessible
9.9%
Mail Server Directly Accessible
8.5%
Database Port Accessible

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

Technology Maturity
21.1%
CDN Protected
14.1%
Management Panel Accessible

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
5.6%
Expiring <30d
7%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities

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