Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of payable.com's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
DMARC / Email Security
Issues: No DMARC record found — email spoofing is not prevented; No SPF record found; No DKIM records found for common selectors (domain may use custom selectors — this is not a confirmed gap).
Security Headers
Only 2/5 security headers present. Missing: X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. This exposes the application to clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and other client-side attacks.
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 4 nameservers configured (ns-705.awsdns-24.net., ns-1087.awsdns-07.org., ns-1882.awsdns-43.co.uk., ns-423.awsdns-52.com.); Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=63072000 with includeSubDomains and preload. Meets best-practice configuration.
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: nginx. No version information exposed — CVE matching not possible (this is good practice).
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 372 days remaining; Issued by Amazon.

Steps to improve payable.com's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Set up email authentication (DMARC, SPF, DKIM)
Without email authentication, anyone can send emails that appear to come from payable.com. This is the most common vector for phishing attacks targeting employees and customers. DMARC, 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
How to fix this
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:[email protected]
4
Monitor DMARC reports for 2–4 weeks, then upgrade policy to p=reject

2
Add missing security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
3 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on payable.com: X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. These headers protect against clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and unauthorized browser feature access. Adding them is a server configuration change with no application code changes required.
Compliance impact
PCI-DSS 4.0Req 6.4.1
Security headers are required application controls
OWASPSecure Headers
Recommended baseline for web applications
How to fix this
1
Add: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
2
Add: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
3
Add: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
4
Verify with: curl -sI https://payable.com | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
3
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for payable.com 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 .com TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec payable.com
