Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of candidate.ly's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
Security Headers
Only 2/5 security headers present. Missing: X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. This exposes the application to clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and other client-side attacks.
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 2 nameservers configured (yolanda.ns.cloudflare.com., jeff.ns.cloudflare.com.); 5 MX records present; DNSSEC enabled; Zone transfers properly restricted.
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to quarantine; SPF record present with hard-fail (-all); DKIM configured (selectors: google, s1, s2).
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
CVE Exposure
No server software versions detected in HTTP response headers. This is good practice (version hiding) but means CVE exposure cannot be assessed from external signals alone.
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=31536000. Missing includeSubDomains. Missing preload directive.
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 52 days remaining; Issued by Let's Encrypt.
Recommended actions

Steps to improve candidate.ly's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Add missing security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
3 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on candidate.ly: X-Content-Type-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.
