Web Application Protection
57.6%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
69.5%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

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

Email Spoofing Protection
20.3%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
8.5%
Sender Identity Unverified
8.5%
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
84.7%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
91.5%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
33.9%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
84.7%
Modern Encryption Adopted
5.1%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
16.9%
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
8.5%
Unencrypted File Transfer Open
6.8%
Mail Server Directly Accessible
3.4%
Database Port Accessible

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

Technology Maturity

CDN Protected
22%
Management Panel Accessible
6.8%
Self-Signed Certificate
1.7%
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
3.4%
Expiring <30d
5.1%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities

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