Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of circa.co's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
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 (hal.ns.cloudflare.com., tricia.ns.cloudflare.com.); 5 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 51 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.
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=31536000. Missing includeSubDomains. Missing preload directive.
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to reject (strongest); SPF record present with soft-fail (~all); DKIM configured (selectors: google, s1, s2).
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.
Recommended actions
3 items
Steps to improve circa.co's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
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 circa.co: 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://circa.co | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'

2
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for circa.co 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 .co TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec circa.co
3
Review certificate configuration
Certificate issues found for circa.co: 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.
How to fix this
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
