Ordered by priority · 3 items
1
Strengthen email authentication configuration
Effort: 2–4 hours   Owner: IT / DNS administrator
high
Email authentication is partially configured for auth0.com but has gaps. Actions needed: add SPF record. Until DMARC enforcement is active, spoofed emails may still reach recipients.
Compliance Impact
NIST CSFPR.AC-7
Email authentication is a required access control
Remediation Steps
1
Add SPF record if missing: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all
2
Verify with: nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.auth0.com
2
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Effort: 1–3 days (depends on registrar)   Owner: DNS administrator / domain registrar
medium
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for auth0.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
Remediation Steps
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 auth0.com
3
Review certificate configuration
Effort: 1–2 hours   Owner: Infrastructure / DevOps
low
Certificate issues found for auth0.com: wildcard certificate in use. Wildcard certificates have a broader blast radius if compromised. Ensure auto-renewal is configured to prevent expiry. These are operational hygiene items, not immediate security risks.
Remediation Steps
1
Verify auto-renewal is configured (Let's Encrypt: certbot renew --dry-run)
2
Consider replacing wildcard cert with individual certs for critical subdomains
3
Consolidate certificate issuance to 1–2 trusted CAs
