DNS Security & Trust Posture
Risk Level: High Risk
3 protocols configured, 5 not configured
2 recommendations
Analysis Confidence
MODERATE
Some DNS data may be stale or incomplete, limiting confidence. Resolver agreement and system maturity are adequate.
Email Spoofing
Partial
Brand Impersonation
Not Set Up
DNS Tampering
Unconfirmed
Certificate Control
Configured
What Requires Attention
Recommended Publish an SPF record to authorize legitimate mail senders
Recommended Upgrade DMARC policy from quarantine to reject (p=reject) for maximum spoofing protection
The BIG Questions
Can this domain be impersonated by email? Partially DMARC present but no SPF
Can DNS itself be tampered with? Unknown DNSSEC could not be confirmed — re-run to verify. This is not evidence the zone is unsigned (RFC 4035).
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? No No llms.txt file detected — AI models have no structured instructions for this domain
Is AI crawling of our content controlled? No No robots.txt found — AI crawlers have unrestricted access
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

Technical Findings

Email Authentication
Can this domain be impersonated by email? Partially — DMARC present but no SPF
SPF (Sender Policy) Missing
DMARC (Policy) Configured Policy: quarantine
DKIM (Signatures) Not Detected
Mail Posture Limited Protection
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 1 MX host)
TLS-RPT (Reporting) Not Configured
Mail Transport Not Enforced Policy-assessed 3 probes
DNS Security
Can DNS itself be tampered with? Unknown — DNSSEC could not be confirmed — re-run to verify. This is not evidence the zone is unsigned (RFC 4035).
DNSSEC Partial
DNSSEC configured (DNSKEY + DS records present) but the chain of trust is unconfirmed — the AD flag was absent, and RFC 4033 §5 notes the signaling mechanism cannot distinguish Insecure from Indeterminate.
NS Delegation Healthy Managed DNS
Delegation Consistency 2 Issues
NS Fleet Health 2 Issues Diversity: Fair
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 Scanned
Does this domain publish AI agent instructions? No — No llms.txt file detected — AI models have no structured instructions for this domain
Is AI crawling of our content controlled? No — No robots.txt found — AI crawlers have unrestricted access
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 Not Found No llms.txt file detected
AI Crawler Governance No 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 4 total Achievable: Moderate Risk
Critical Publish SPF Record

Add an SPF record to authorize mail servers for this domain.

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.
