DNS Security & Trust Posture
Risk Level: Low Risk
4 protocols configured, 4 not configured, 1 unavailable on provider
1 recommendation
Analysis Confidence
MODERATE
Resolver agreement is inconsistent for some protocols, limiting confidence. Data currency and system maturity are adequate.
Email Spoofing
Protected
Brand Impersonation
Not Set Up
DNS Tampering
Unsigned
Certificate Control
Configured
What Requires Attention
Recommended Upgrade DMARC policy from quarantine to reject (p=reject) for maximum spoofing protection
The BIG Questions
Can this domain be impersonated by email? Unlikely SPF and DMARC quarantine policy enforced
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 quarantine flags but does not reject spoofed mail (RFC 7489 §6.3), and no BIMI brand verification — lookalike domains display identically in inboxes; CAA restricts certificate issuance (RFC 8659 §4) but visual brand faking remains open
Is mail transport encryption enforced? No No MTA-STS or DANE — mail transport encryption is opportunistic only
Is certificate issuance controlled? Yes CAA records restrict which certificate authorities may issue certificates
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 2 hidden prompt-like artifact(s) detected in page source
Domain Overview
Registrar GoDaddy.com, LLC
Email Provider Google Workspace
Web Hosting Unknown
DNS Hosting Cloudflare

Technical Findings

Email Authentication
Can this domain be impersonated by email? Unlikely — SPF and DMARC quarantine policy enforced
SPF (Sender Policy) Configured
DMARC (Policy) Configured Policy: quarantine
DKIM (Signatures) Configured
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 DANE not available — Google Workspace does not support inbound DANE/TLSA on its MX infrastructure
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 partially configured - DNSKEY exists but DS record missing at registrar
NS Delegation Healthy Managed DNS
Delegation Consistency 2 Issues
NS Fleet Health Healthy Diversity: Fair
DNSSEC Operations 1 Issue 2 keys, 0 sigs
Brand & Certificate Controls
Can this brand be convincingly faked? Likely — DMARC quarantine flags but does not reject spoofed mail (RFC 7489 §6.3), and no BIMI brand verification — lookalike domains display identically in inboxes; CAA restricts certificate issuance (RFC 8659 §4) but visual brand faking remains open
Is certificate issuance controlled? Yes — CAA records restrict which certificate authorities may issue certificates
BIMI (Brand Logo) Not Configured
CAA (Certificate) Configured
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 — 2 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 2 Found Hidden prompt-like content detected in page source
Public Exposure Clear No secrets detected in publicly accessible source
Priority Actions 4 total Achievable: Secure
Medium Enable DNSSEC

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

Medium Upgrade DMARC to Reject

Your DMARC policy is set to quarantine. Upgrade to p=reject for maximum protection — reject instructs receivers to discard spoofed mail entirely rather than quarantining it.

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.
