What Requires Attention
Recommended
Move DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject'

The BIG Questions
Can this domain be impersonated by email?
Yes
DMARC requests no enforcement (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?
Yes
robots.txt actively blocks AI crawlers from scraping site content
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

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.
