Security checks

Each check inspects a different part of confluent.io's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.

DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to reject (strongest); DKIM configured (selectors: google, s1, s2, k1). Issues: No SPF record found.
Needs work
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 4 nameservers configured (ns-238.awsdns-29.com., ns-697.awsdns-23.net., ns-1085.awsdns-07.org., ns-1943.awsdns-50.co.uk.); 5 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Needs work
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
Healthy
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=31536000. Missing includeSubDomains. Missing preload directive.
Healthy
Security Headers
4/5 security headers present. Missing: Permissions-Policy.
Healthy
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
Healthy
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: Netlify. (Netlify detected but excluded from CVE matching — upstream infrastructure). All detected technologies are upstream CDN/proxy infrastructure. No application-level software versions exposed.
Healthy
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 31 days remaining; Issued by Let's Encrypt.

Recommended actions
2 items

Steps to improve confluent.io's security grade, ranked by impact.

1
Strengthen email authentication configuration
Impact: 2–4 Hours
HIGH
Email authentication is partially configured for confluent.io but has gaps. Actions needed: add SPF record. 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
Add SPF record if missing: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all
2
Verify with: nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.confluent.io
2
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Impact: 1–3 Days (Depends On Registrar)
MEDIUM
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for confluent.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 confluent.io
