Security Headers

1–2 hours High

This leaves visitors exposed to attacks like clickjacking and content-type sniffing. cognition.ai is missing 3 of the 5 security headers browsers use to protect visitors — for example, one stops your site being loaded inside a hidden frame on another site to trick people into clicking things (clickjacking). These are settings, not code changes, so they're usually quick to add.

How to fix this

1Add these headers exactly as shown. You're using Vercel in front of this site — add it there, see https://vercel.com/docs/headers/response-headers.

Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' https://fonts.gstatic.com; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; upgrade-insecure-requests

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()

2Confirm it worked: search "http header checker" and enter cognition.ai — the headers above should appear in the response.

Blocking Issues

2/5 present

Missing: CSP, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy

Likelihood: ★★★☆☆

Impact: ★★★☆☆

Medium Priority

Warn

Issues: No MTA-STS configured — email in transit is vulnerable to TLS downgrade attacks; sending servers cannot verify your mail server requires TLS; No TLSRPT record (_smtp._tls) — TLS delivery failures won't be reported to the domain owner.

Likelihood: ★★☆☆☆

Impact: ★★★☆☆

Not enabled

Strengths: 4 nameservers configured (ns-1922.awsdns-48.co.uk, ns-909.awsdns-49.net, ns-194.awsdns-24.com, ns-1372.awsdns-43.org); NS records span 4 providers (co.uk, awsdns-49.net, awsdns-24.com, awsdns-43.org) — genuine redundancy; SOA record present and MNAME consistent with NS set; 7 MX record(s) present; Zone transfers properly restricted on all nameservers; Address records present: 1 A record(s). Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed or tampered with in transit (DNS cache poisoning).

Likelihood: ★★☆☆☆

Impact: ★★★☆☆

Best Practice

Warn

No CAA records found in the DNS tree for this domain. Without CAA, any Certificate Authority can issue certificates for this domain. Adding CAA records restricts issuance to authorised CAs only, reducing the risk of misissued certificates.

Likelihood: ★☆☆☆☆

Impact: ★☆☆☆☆

Warn

No security.txt found. Publishing a security.txt at /.well-known/security.txt is the industry standard (RFC 9116) for vulnerability disclosure policies. Its absence may indicate a less mature security program.
