Action Items
Ordered by priority · 4 items
1
Set up email authentication (SPF, DKIM)
Without email authentication, anyone can send emails that appear to come from kaiserpermanente.org. This is the most common vector for phishing attacks targeting employees and customers. SPF, DKIM are not configured.
Compliance Impact
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@kaiserpermanente.org
4
Monitor DMARC reports for 2–4 weeks, then upgrade policy to p=reject

2
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for kaiserpermanente.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 kaiserpermanente.org
3
Upgrade to TLS 1.3
kaiserpermanente.org 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.
Remediation Steps
1
Update web server config to prefer TLS 1.3 (nginx: ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3)
2
Verify: openssl s_client -connect kaiserpermanente.org:443 -tls1_3
4
Add optional security headers (Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
kaiserpermanente.org has most security headers configured. Missing: Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. These are best-practice additions that reduce the attack surface for client-side vulnerabilities.
Remediation Steps
1
Add: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
2
Add: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
3
Verify with: curl -sI https://kaiserpermanente.org | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
