Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of bensen.ai'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 0/5 security headers present. Missing: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. This exposes the application to clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and other client-side attacks.
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 2 nameservers configured (dns1.registrar-servers.com., dns2.registrar-servers.com.); 1 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: Parking/1.0. 4 medium-severity CVE(s) found. Review recommended.
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Issued by DigiCert Inc. Issues: Certificate expires in 24 days — renewal recommended.
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to reject (strongest); SPF record present with soft-fail (~all); DKIM configured (selectors: google). Issues: DMARC has no aggregate report URI (rua).
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.

Steps to improve bensen.ai's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Enable HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)
The HSTS header is missing on bensen.ai. 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://bensen.ai | grep -i strict
4
Submit to hstspreload.org after confirming the header is correct

2
Add missing security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
5 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on bensen.ai: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, 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: X-Frame-Options: DENY (or SAMEORIGIN if you use iframes)
4
Add: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
5
Add: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
6
Verify with: curl -sI https://bensen.ai | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
3
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for bensen.ai 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 .ai TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec bensen.ai
4
Review potential CVE exposure in detected software
Software detected on bensen.ai has potential CVE matches. Review the specific CVEs and confirm whether the installed version is affected.
How to fix this
1
Review matched CVEs and confirm installed versions
2
Update software if vulnerable versions are confirmed
3
Consider hiding version information in server headers
5
Review certificate configuration — expires in 24 days
Certificate issues found for bensen.ai: certificate expires in 24 days. Ensure auto-renewal is configured to prevent expiry. These are operational hygiene items, not immediate security risks.
How to fix this
1
Verify auto-renewal is configured (Let's Encrypt: certbot renew --dry-run)
2
Consolidate certificate issuance to 1–2 trusted CAs
