Executive's DNS Intelligence Brief
DNS Security & Trust Posture
Risk Level:
Low Risk
6 protocols configured, 2 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.

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?
Partly
SPF and DMARC are enforced at p=quarantine, 100% (RFC 7489 §6.3) — receivers accept failing mail and set it aside, so a spoofed message still reaches the mailbox in spam or junk rather than being refused
Can DNS itself be tampered with?
No
DNSSEC signed; a validating resolver confirmed the cryptographic chain of trust via the AD flag (RFC 4035 §3.2.3)
Can this brand be convincingly faked?
Likely
DMARC quarantine flags but does not reject spoofed mail (RFC 7489 §6.3) — no BIMI brand verification and no CAA certificate restriction (RFC 8659) leave brand impersonation largely unaddressed
Is mail transport encryption enforced?
Yes
MTA-STS enforces TLS for all inbound mail delivery
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?

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 CAA Records
CAA records specify which Certificate Authorities may issue certificates for your domain, reducing the risk of unauthorized certificate issuance.
Low
Add DANE/TLSA Records
DNSSEC is active — adding TLSA records enables DANE, which cryptographically binds your mail server certificates to DNS and prevents certificate-based MITM attacks.

Appendix — What AIs Are Being Told About This Organization What do AI systems see when they query this domain?
The following content is served to AI systems (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and others) when they visit this domain. This is the organization's machine-readable narrative — it shapes how AI models describe, recommend, and represent this brand in conversations worldwide.
llms.txt (https://westbyforcongress.com/llms.txt)
# Jeremy Westby for Congress Generated by Yoast SEO v28.6, this is an llms.txt file, meant for consumption by LLMs. ## Pages - [Home](https://westbyforcongress.com/) - [Privacy Policy](https://westbyforcongress.com/privacy-policy/) ## Optional - [Sitemap index](https://westbyforcongress.com/sitemap_index.xml)
Why this matters: This content directly influences how AI models describe your organization, products, and services. Review it for accuracy, brand alignment, and competitive positioning. If no llms.txt exists, AI models rely on whatever they can scrape — with no editorial control.
