Security checks

Each check inspects a different part of searchlight.ai's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.

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.
Problem
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 2 nameservers configured (addilyn.ns.cloudflare.com., cosmin.ns.cloudflare.com.); 5 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
Needs work
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: SPF record present with hard-fail (-all); DKIM configured (selectors: google). Issues: DMARC policy is 'none' (monitoring only, no enforcement).
Needs work
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
Healthy
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
Healthy
CVE Exposure
No server software versions detected in HTTP response headers. This is good practice (version hiding) but means CVE exposure cannot be assessed from external signals alone.
Healthy
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=31536000. Missing includeSubDomains. Missing preload directive.
Healthy
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 52 days remaining; Issued by Let's Encrypt.
Healthy

Steps to improve searchlight.ai's security grade, ranked by impact.

1
Add missing security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
Impact: 1–2 Hours
HIGH
3 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on searchlight.ai: 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://searchlight.ai | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
2
Strengthen email authentication configuration
Impact: 2–4 Hours
HIGH
Email authentication is partially configured for searchlight.ai 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.searchlight.ai
3
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Impact: 1–3 Days (Depends On Registrar)
MEDIUM
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for searchlight.ai 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 .ai TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec searchlight.ai
