DNS Security & Trust Posture
Risk Level: High Risk
3 protocols configured, 6 not configured
2 recommendations
Analysis Confidence
HIGH
Strong resolver agreement, fresh and complete data, and proven measurement tooling support high confidence in this analysis.
Email Spoofing
Partial
Brand Impersonation
Not Set Up
DNS Tampering
Unsigned
Certificate Control
Open
What Requires Attention
Recommended Move DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject'
Recommended Enable DMARC aggregate reporting (rua) for authentication visibility
The BIG Questions
Can this domain be impersonated by email? Yes DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
Can DNS itself be tampered with? Possible DNSSEC is not deployed, DNS responses are not cryptographically verified
Can this brand be convincingly faked? Likely DMARC is monitor-only p=none (RFC 7489 §6.3) — spoofed mail is not blocked, brand faking is trivial
Is mail transport encryption enforced? No No MTA-STS or DANE — mail transport encryption is opportunistic only
Is certificate issuance controlled? No No CAA records — any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain
Does this domain publish AI agent instructions? Yes llms.txt published — AI models receive structured context about this domain
Is AI crawling of our content controlled? No robots.txt present but does not block AI crawlers — content may be freely scraped
Has someone manipulated AI recommendations about us? No No indicators of AI recommendation manipulation found
Are there hidden AI prompts on our site? Yes 1 hidden prompt-like artifact(s) detected in page source

Technical Findings

Email Authentication
Can this domain be impersonated by email? Yes — DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
SPF (Sender Policy) Configured
DMARC (Policy) Partial Policy: none Monitor Only
DKIM (Signatures) Not Detected
Mail Posture Moderately Protected
Mail Transport Security
Is mail transport encryption enforced? No — No MTA-STS or DANE — mail transport encryption is opportunistic only
MTA-STS Partial
DANE / TLSA Hosted Provider No DANE/TLSA records found (checked 2 MX hosts)
TLS-RPT (Reporting) Not Configured
Mail Transport Verified Policy-assessed 2 probes
DNS Security
Can DNS itself be tampered with? Possible — DNSSEC is not deployed, DNS responses are not cryptographically verified
DNSSEC Partial
DNSSEC not configured - DNS responses are unsigned
NS Delegation Healthy
Delegation Consistency 1 Issue
NS Fleet Health 1 Issue Diversity: Fair
Brand & Certificate Controls
Can this brand be convincingly faked? Likely — DMARC is monitor-only p=none (RFC 7489 §6.3) — spoofed mail is not blocked, brand faking is trivial
Is certificate issuance controlled? No — No CAA records — any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain
BIMI (Brand Logo) Not Configured
CAA (Certificate) Open Any certificate authority may issue certificates
AI Surface Scanner Risks Detected
Does this domain publish AI agent instructions? Yes — llms.txt published — AI models receive structured context about this domain
Is AI crawling of our content controlled? No — robots.txt present but does not block AI crawlers — content may be freely scraped
Has someone manipulated AI recommendations about us? No — No indicators of AI recommendation manipulation found
Are there hidden AI prompts on our site? Yes — 1 hidden prompt-like artifact(s) detected in page source
LLM Context File llms.txt Found Domain provides structured context for AI models
AI Crawler Governance Not Blocking No AI crawler restrictions found in robots.txt
Poisoning Indicators None Found No AI recommendation poisoning indicators detected
Hidden Prompt Artifacts 1 Found Hidden prompt-like content detected in page source
Public Exposure Clear No secrets detected in publicly accessible source
Priority Actions 6 total Achievable: Low Risk
High Upgrade DMARC from p=none

Your DMARC policy is monitor-only (p=none). Upgrade to p=quarantine or p=reject after reviewing reports to actively prevent spoofing.

Medium Add DMARC Aggregate Reporting

Add a rua= tag to receive aggregate DMARC reports. Without reporting, you cannot monitor authentication failures.

Medium Enable DNSSEC

DNSSEC is not enabled for this domain. DNSSEC provides cryptographic authentication of DNS responses, preventing cache poisoning and DNS spoofing attacks.

Low Add CAA Records

CAA records specify which Certificate Authorities may issue certificates for your domain, reducing the risk of unauthorized certificate issuance.

Low Add TLS-RPT Reporting

TLS-RPT (TLS Reporting) sends you reports about TLS connection failures when other servers try to deliver mail to your domain.

Low Deploy MTA-STS

MTA-STS enforces TLS encryption for inbound mail delivery, preventing downgrade attacks on your mail transport.
