NIST CSFPR.AC-7
Email authentication is a required access control
ISO 27001A.13.2.1
Information transfer policies require email security controls
HIPAA§164.312(e)
Transmission security for electronic PHI
Remediation Steps
1
Add SPF record to DNS: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all (adjust for your email provider)
2
Configure DKIM signing with your email provider and publish the public key in DNS
3
Add DMARC record: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@falco.org

Compliance Impact
PCI-DSS 4.0Req 6.4.1
Security headers are required application controls
OWASPSecure Headers
Recommended baseline for web applications
Remediation Steps
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://falco.org | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
3
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for falco.org 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
Remediation Steps
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 .org TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec falco.org

Review certificate configuration
Certificate issues found for falco.org: wildcard certificate in use. Wildcard certificates have a broader blast radius if compromised. These are operational hygiene items, not immediate security risks.
Remediation Steps
1
Consider replacing wildcard cert with individual certs for critical subdomains
2
Consolidate certificate issuance to 1–2 trusted CAs
