Steps to improve manus.im's security grade, ranked by impact.

1
Enable HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)
< 1 hour High

The HSTS header is missing on manus.im. Without it, connections can be downgraded from HTTPS to HTTP via man-in-the-middle attacks. This is a straightforward server configuration change.

PCI-DSS 4.0Req 6.4.1
Required application security controls
NIST 800-53SC-8
Transmission confidentiality and integrity
How to fix this
1 Add header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
2 Verify all subdomains support HTTPS before adding includeSubDomains
3 Test with: curl -sI https://manus.im | grep -i strict
4 Submit to hstspreload.org after confirming the header is correct
AI Summary
What this means

manus.im scored 78/100, meeting baseline requirements but with 5 findings that require attention. The vendor can proceed with a remediation timeline agreement.

Critical gaps in: HSTS Header, Security Headers. Positive signals: DMARC / Email Security, TLS Protocol Support, TLS Configuration all passed.

3 action items identified, including 0 critical. The issues are configuration gaps, not architectural problems. A focused remediation effort of 2–5 days could address all findings.
