Domain Security Guide

Get Your Domain Security Letter Grade in Seconds

Every business domain has an attack surface that any auditor or attacker can probe in seconds. We check the same records they do — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DNSSEC, breach exposure, and web security headers — and assign an A–F grade with the specific gaps to fix.

What Gets Checked

Each record below is fetched live from authoritative DNS or breach intelligence sources. The grade reflects real receiver and attacker behavior — not a checklist.

SPF

  • Authorized sender IP list present
  • No softfail on production senders
  • Length within DNS lookup limits

DKIM

  • Signing selectors discoverable
  • Key length ≥ 1024 bits
  • All sending services covered

DMARC

  • Policy at quarantine or reject
  • Aggregate reporting (rua) configured
  • Subdomain policy applied

MTA-STS

  • Policy file served over HTTPS
  • Mode set to enforce, not testing
  • Policy ID rotation tracked

DNSSEC

  • DS records published at parent
  • Signing keys not expired
  • Validates against trust chain

Breach exposure

  • Cross-references known breach corpora
  • Identifies exposed employee credentials
  • Flags high-risk reuse patterns

Key insight

Most domain security failures aren't configuration errors — they're drift. A domain that earned an A two years ago picks up new sending services, expired DKIM selectors, and forgotten subdomains. The attacker only has to find the one record that wasn't maintained. Grade your domain on the same cadence you grade your tenant.
