Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of scentbird.com's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
HSTS Header
Strict-Transport-Security header is missing. Connections can be downgraded to HTTP via man-in-the-middle attacks.
Security Headers
Only 0/5 security headers present. Missing: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy. This exposes the application to clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, and other client-side attacks.
Known Breaches
1 breach(es) found (1 verified). Total accounts affected: 5,814,988. Breaches: Scentbird (2020-06-22, 5,814,988 accounts).
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: SPF record present with soft-fail (~all); DKIM configured (selectors: google, mail, mandrill). Issues: DMARC policy is 'none' (monitoring only, no enforcement).
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 4 nameservers configured (ns-569.awsdns-07.net., ns-1343.awsdns-39.org., ns-1812.awsdns-34.co.uk., ns-453.awsdns-56.com.); 5 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 245 days remaining; Issued by Sectigo Limited. Issues: Wildcard certificate in use — broader attack surface if compromised.
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: nginx. No version information exposed — CVE matching not possible (this is good practice).
Recommended actions
6 items
Steps to improve scentbird.com's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Strengthen email authentication configuration
Email authentication is partially configured for scentbird.com but has gaps. Actions needed: upgrade DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject'. 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
Upgrade DMARC policy to p=quarantine (then p=reject after monitoring)
2
Verify with: nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.scentbird.com

2
Enable HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)
The HSTS header is missing on scentbird.com. Without it, connections can be downgraded from HTTPS to HTTP via man-in-the-middle attacks. This is a straightforward server configuration change.
Compliance impact
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://scentbird.com | grep -i strict
4
Submit to hstspreload.org after confirming the header is correct
3
Add missing security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
5 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on scentbird.com: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-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 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://scentbird.com | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
4
Review unverified breach disclosure
scentbird.com appears in an unverified breach report. This may be a false positive or data aggregation error. Investigate to confirm or rule out exposure.
How to fix this
1
Review the breach details on haveibeenpwned.com
2
Cross-reference with internal incident records
3
If confirmed, follow breach response procedures
5
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for scentbird.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 scentbird.com
6
Review certificate configuration
Certificate issues found for scentbird.com: wildcard certificate in use. Wildcard certificates have a broader blast radius if compromised. These are operational hygiene items, not immediate security risks.
How to fix this
1
Consider replacing wildcard cert with individual certs for critical subdomains
2
Consolidate certificate issuance to 1–2 trusted CAs
