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

Email Spoofing Protection
13.2%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
2.9%
Sender Identity Unverified
2.9%

DNS & Domain Security
95.6%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
97.1%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
27.9%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
48.5%
Modern Encryption Adopted
4.4%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
14.7%
Session Token Exposure Risk

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

Expiring <30d
1.5%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities

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