Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of scribd.com's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 4 nameservers configured (ns-474.awsdns-59.com., ns-630.awsdns-14.net., ns-1449.awsdns-53.org., ns-2000.awsdns-58.co.uk.); 2 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Certificate Hygiene

TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (128-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to quarantine; SPF record present with soft-fail (~all); DKIM configured (selectors: default, google, s1, s2, k1, mandrill, zendesk1, zendesk2).
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=63072000. includeSubDomains present. Missing preload directive.
Security Headers

CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: envoy, Proxy/CDN. (envoy, Proxy/CDN detected but excluded from CVE matching — upstream infrastructure). All detected technologies are upstream CDN/proxy infrastructure. No application-level software versions exposed.
Recommended actions
2 items
Steps to improve scribd.com's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Enable DNSSEC on your domain

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

2
Review certificate configuration
Certificate issues found for scribd.com: wildcard certificate in use. Wildcard certificates have a broader blast radius if compromised. Ensure auto-renewal is configured to prevent expiry. These are operational hygiene items, not immediate security risks.
How to fix this
1
Verify auto-renewal is configured (Let's Encrypt: certbot renew --dry-run)
2
Consider replacing wildcard cert with individual certs for critical subdomains
3
Consolidate certificate issuance to 1–2 trusted CAs
