Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of chaosgenius.io's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 2 nameservers configured (fish.ns.cloudflare.com., anton.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).
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: SPF record present with soft-fail (~all); DKIM configured (selectors: mandrill). Issues: DMARC policy is 'none' (monitoring only, no enforcement).
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=31536000. includeSubDomains present. Missing preload directive.
Security Headers
4/5 security headers present. Missing: Permissions-Policy.
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: nginx, Proxy/CDN, Drupal 11/(https://www.drupal.org). (Proxy/CDN detected but excluded from CVE matching — upstream infrastructure). No high or critical CVEs found for detected versions.
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 82 days remaining; Issued by ZeroSSL.
Recommended actions
3 items
Steps to improve chaosgenius.io's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Strengthen email authentication configuration
Email authentication is partially configured for chaosgenius.io but has gaps. Actions needed: upgrade DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject'. Until DMARC enforcement is active, spoofed emails may still reach recipients.
Compliance impact
NIST CSFPR.AC-7
Email authentication is a required access control
How to fix this
1
Upgrade DMARC policy to p=quarantine (then p=reject after monitoring)
2
Verify with: nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.chaosgenius.io

2
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for chaosgenius.io 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 .io TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec chaosgenius.io
3
Upgrade to TLS 1.3
chaosgenius.io 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 chaosgenius.io:443 -tls1_3
