2 critical2 high1 medium
Basic Security
10/40 (25%)DNSSEC Enabledhigh
DNSSEC protects against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning
→ Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks. Contact your domain registrar to enable DNSSEC.
Multiple Nameservers
Multiple nameservers provide redundancy
Nameserver Diversitylow
Nameservers on different networks improve resilience
→ Both nameservers are run by one operator (d-zone.ca). If it has an outage, the domain stops resolving; a second DNS provider protects against that.
Record Security
26/55 (47%)CAA Recordshigh
CAA restricts which CAs can issue certificates
→ Add CAA records to specify which Certificate Authorities are allowed to issue certificates for your domain. Example: 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
SPF Recordcritical
SPF prevents email spoofing
→ Your SPF record does not end in -all or ~all, so receivers are not told to reject or flag mail from other servers. End it with -all (or ~all while you test).
DMARC Recordcritical
DMARC protects against phishing
→ Your DMARC policy is set to 'none'. Consider upgrading to 'quarantine' or 'reject' for better protection.
DKIM Presence
DKIM key published at s1._domainkey, s2._domainkey, mail._domainkey
Advanced Security
15/25 (60%)Mail Server Configurationmedium
Multiple MX records provide email redundancy
→ Consider adding a backup MX record for email redundancy.
SOA Record Configuration
SOA record with reasonable TTL/refresh values
IPv6 Supportlow
AAAA records enable IPv6 connectivity
→ No IPv6 (AAAA) records found. Consider adding IPv6 support for future-proofing.
