AI-Generated Summary
What this means
airpair.com scored 48/100 and does not meet the minimum security posture threshold. The most critical issue is: Set up email authentication (DKIM). This must be addressed before the vendor can be approved for procurement or data processing activities.
Critical gaps in: HSTS Header, Security Headers, DMARC / Email Security. Positive signals: Known Breaches, CVE Exposure all passed.
6 action items identified, including 1 critical. The issues are configuration gaps, not architectural problems. A focused remediation effort of 2–5 days could address all findings.

airpair.com — Grade F (48/100)
2378 companies scanned
Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of airpair.com's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
HSTS Header
Strict-Transport-Security header is missing. Connections can be downgraded to HTTP via man-in-the-middle attacks.
Security Headers
Only 2/5 security headers present. Missing: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Permissions-Policy. This exposes the application to clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and other client-side attacks.
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: SPF record present with hard-fail (-all). Issues: No DMARC record found — email spoofing is not prevented; No DKIM records found for common selectors (domain may use custom selectors — this is not a confirmed gap).
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 2 nameservers configured (anirban.ns.cloudflare.com., emily.ns.cloudflare.com.); 5 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.2 negotiated. Issues: TLS 1.2 negotiated (1.3 preferred).
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 66 days remaining; Issued by Google Trust Services. Issues: Wildcard certificate in use — broader attack surface if compromised.
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: cloudflare. (cloudflare detected but excluded from CVE matching — upstream infrastructure). All detected technologies are upstream CDN/proxy infrastructure. No application-level software versions exposed.

Steps to improve airpair.com's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Set up email authentication (DMARC, DKIM)
Without email authentication, anyone can send emails that appear to come from airpair.com. This is the most common vector for phishing attacks targeting employees and customers. DMARC, DKIM are not configured.
Compliance impact
NIST CSFPR.AC-7
Email authentication is a required access control
ISO 27001A.13.2.1
Information transfer policies require email security controls
HIPAA§164.312(e)
Transmission security for electronic PHI
How to fix this
1
Add SPF record to DNS: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all (adjust for your email provider)
2
Configure DKIM signing with your email provider and publish the public key in DNS
3
Add DMARC record: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]
4
Monitor DMARC reports for 2–4 weeks, then upgrade policy to p=reject

2
Enable HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)
The HSTS header is missing on airpair.com. Without it, connections can be downgraded from HTTPS to HTTP via man-in-the-middle attacks. This is a straightforward server configuration change.
Compliance impact
PCI-DSS 4.0Req 6.4.1
Required application security controls
NIST 800-53SC-8
Transmission confidentiality and integrity
How to fix this
1
Add header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
2
Verify all subdomains support HTTPS before adding includeSubDomains
3
Test with: curl -sI https://airpair.com | grep -i strict
4
Submit to hstspreload.org after confirming the header is correct
3
Add missing security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Permissions-Policy)
3 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on airpair.com: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Permissions-Policy. These headers protect against clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and unauthorized browser feature access. Adding them is a server configuration change with no application code changes required.
Compliance impact
PCI-DSS 4.0Req 6.4.1
Security headers are required application controls
OWASPSecure Headers
Recommended baseline for web applications
How to fix this
1
Add Content-Security-Policy header (start with report-only to avoid breakage)
2
Add: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
3
Add: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
4
Verify with: curl -sI https://airpair.com | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
4
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for airpair.com can be spoofed, potentially redirecting users to malicious sites. This requires coordination with your domain registrar to publish DS records.
Compliance impact
NIST 800-53SC-20
Secure name/address resolution service
How to fix this
1
Check if your DNS provider supports DNSSEC (Cloudflare, Route53, etc.)
2
Enable DNSSEC signing in your DNS provider dashboard
3
Add the DS record to your registrar for .com TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec airpair.com
5
Upgrade to TLS 1.3
airpair.com negotiated TLSv1.2. TLS 1.2 is still compliant under all major security frameworks and is not a vulnerability. TLS 1.3 offers faster handshakes and removes legacy cipher negotiation. This is a best-practice improvement, not a compliance gap.
How to fix this
1
Update web server config to prefer TLS 1.3 (nginx: ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3)
2
Verify: openssl s_client -connect airpair.com:443 -tls1_3
6
Review certificate configuration
Certificate issues found for airpair.com: wildcard certificate in use. Wildcard certificates have a broader blast radius if compromised. These are operational hygiene items, not immediate security risks.
How to fix this
1
Consider replacing wildcard cert with individual certs for critical subdomains
2
Consolidate certificate issuance to 1–2 trusted CAs
