Issues found (4)

DNSSEC not configured

DNSSEC provides extra protection against DNS spoofing

Learn more

Mail servers have no IPv6

Your mail servers are not reachable via IPv6

Learn more

No CAA records

CAA records determine which Certificate Authorities may issue SSL certificates

Learn more

Excessive verification TXT records

Your domain has many third-party verification records. These reveal your tech stack to potential attackers (reconnaissance). Review and remove unused verifications

Recommendations (4)

Implement DNSSEC

Activate DNSSEC with your domain registrar and add the DS records to your parent zone. This protects against DNS spoofing attacks.

Impact: Significantly increases security and prevents DNS manipulation

Add CAA records

Define which Certificate Authorities may issue SSL certificates, for example: "0 issue letsencrypt.org"

Impact: Prevents unauthorized certificate issuance

IPv6 for mail servers

Add AAAA records for your MX servers to support email via IPv6.

Impact: Improves email reachability for IPv6 networks

Review verification TXT records

Your domain has many third-party verification records that reveal your tech stack (Google, Microsoft, Atlassian, etc.). Review each one: 1) Remove records for services no longer used 2) Consider if each service really needs domain verification 3) Use a subdomain for less critical services. This is an information disclosure issue - attackers can map your SaaS footprint.

Impact: Reduces reconnaissance surface and limits attacker knowledge of your infrastructure
