DNS Security & Trust Posture
Risk Level: Low Risk
7 protocols configured, 2 not configured
Analysis Confidence
MODERATE
Resolver agreement is inconsistent for some protocols, limiting confidence. Data currency and system maturity are adequate.
Email Spoofing
Protected
Brand Impersonation
Protected
DNS Tampering
Protected
Certificate Control
Configured
What Requires Attention
No urgent actions detected. Domain security posture is well-maintained.
The BIG Questions
Can this domain be impersonated by email? No SPF and DMARC reject policy enforced
Can DNS itself be tampered with? No DNSSEC signed and validated, cryptographic chain of trust verified
Can this brand be convincingly faked? No DMARC reject policy enforced (RFC 7489 §6.3), BIMI brand verification active (BIMI Spec), and certificate issuance restricted by CAA (RFC 8659 §4) — all three brand-faking vectors addressed
Is mail transport encryption enforced? Yes DANE/TLSA provides cryptographic transport verification
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? No No hidden prompt artifacts found in page source

SPF (Sender Policy) Configured
DMARC (Policy) Configured Policy: reject
DKIM (Signatures) Configured
Mail Posture Strongly Protected
Mail Transport Security
Is mail transport encryption enforced? Yes — DANE/TLSA provides cryptographic transport verification
MTA-STS Partial
DANE / TLSA Active
TLS-RPT (Reporting) Not Configured
Mail Transport Enforced Policy-assessed 2 probes
DNS Security
Can DNS itself be tampered with? No — DNSSEC signed and validated, cryptographic chain of trust verified
DNSSEC Signed & Validated
DNSSEC fully configured and validated — AD (Authenticated Data) flag set by resolver 8.8.8.8 confirming cryptographic chain of trust from root to zone (RFC 4035 §3.2.3)
NS Delegation Healthy Managed DNS
Delegation Consistency 6 Issues
NS Fleet Health Healthy Diversity: Fair
DNSSEC Operations 1 Issue 2 keys, 0 sigs
Brand & Certificate Controls
Can this brand be convincingly faked? No — DMARC reject policy enforced (RFC 7489 §6.3), BIMI brand verification active (BIMI Spec), and certificate issuance restricted by CAA (RFC 8659 §4) — all three brand-faking vectors addressed
Is certificate issuance controlled? Yes — CAA records restrict which certificate authorities may issue certificates
BIMI (Brand Logo) Configured VMC Verified
CAA (Certificate) Configured
AI Surface Scanner Governance Active
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? No — No hidden prompt artifacts found 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 None Found No hidden prompt artifacts detected
Public Exposure Clear No secrets detected in publicly accessible source
Priority Actions 2 total Achievable: Secure
Low Add TLS-RPT Reporting

Your domain has DNSSEC + DANE — the strongest email transport security available. 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.
