What this means
thespike.gg scored 72/100, meeting baseline requirements but with 5 findings that require attention. The vendor can proceed with a remediation timeline agreement.
Critical gaps in: DMARC / Email Security, Security Headers. Positive signals: TLS Protocol Support, TLS Configuration, Known Breaches all passed.
3 action items identified, including 1 critical. The issues are configuration gaps, not architectural problems. A focused remediation effort of 2–5 days could address all findings.

Security checks
Each check inspects a different part of thespike.gg's public security setup. Green means healthy, yellow needs attention, red is a problem.
DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: SPF record present with hard-fail (-all). Issues: DMARC policy is 'none' (monitoring only, no enforcement); DMARC has no aggregate report URI (rua); No DKIM records found for common selectors (domain may use custom selectors — this is not a confirmed gap).
Security Headers
None of the 5 recommended security headers are 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.
MX Records & Mail Provider
Strengths: Mail handled by Google Workspace; 1 MX record(s) configured. Issues: Only 1 MX record — no failover if primary mail server is unavailable.
DNS CAA Records
Strengths: CAA records configured (10 record(s)); Authorized CAs: comodoca.com, digicert.com; cansignhttpexchanges=yes, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog; cansignhttpexchanges=yes, ssl.com. Issues: No iodef record — CA violations won't be reported to the domain owner.
MTA-STS & TLS Reporting
Issues: No MTA-STS configured — email in transit is vulnerable to TLS downgrade attacks. Sending servers cannot verify that your mail server requires TLS; No TLSRPT record — TLS delivery failures won't be reported to domain owner.
DNS Configuration
Strengths: 2 nameservers configured (peaches.ns.cloudflare.com., greg.ns.cloudflare.com.); 1 MX records present; Zone transfers properly restricted. Issues: DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed.
security.txt (RFC 9116)
No security.txt found. Publishing a security.txt at /.well-known/security.txt is the industry standard (RFC 9116) for vulnerability disclosure policies. Its absence may indicate a less mature security program.
TLS Protocol Support
Strengths: TLS 1.3 supported; TLS 1.2 supported; TLS 1.3 supported (strongest). Protocol support: TLS 1.3: Yes, TLS 1.2: Yes, TLS 1.1: No, TLS 1.0: No.
TLS Configuration
TLSv1.3 negotiated with TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256-bit). Strong configuration with no deprecated protocols or weak ciphers detected.
Known Breaches
No known breaches found in public disclosure databases.
HSTS Header
HSTS enabled: max-age=63072000s (730 days). Missing includeSubDomains — subdomains not covered. Missing preload directive.
Cookie Security
No cookies set on the homepage response. No cookie security flags to evaluate.
CVE Exposure
Detected technologies: cloudflare, Next.js. (cloudflare detected but excluded from CVE matching — upstream infrastructure). No version information exposed — CVE matching not possible (this is good practice).
Certificate Hygiene
Strengths: Certificate valid, 84 days remaining; Issued by Google Trust Services. Note: Wildcard certificate in use (*.domain) — covers all subdomains. Common practice; worth noting that compromise would affect all subdomains.
Recommended actions
3 items
Steps to improve thespike.gg's security grade, ranked by impact.
1
Set up email authentication (DKIM)
Without email authentication, anyone can send emails that appear to come from thespike.gg. This is the most common vector for phishing attacks targeting employees and customers. DKIM is 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 (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
5 of 5 recommended security headers are missing on thespike.gg: 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 a Content-Security-Policy header. Safe starting value (works with Google Fonts and inline styles/scripts): default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' https://fonts.gstatic.com; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; upgrade-insecure-requests. Test your site after adding it, then tighten over time by removing 'unsafe-inline'.
2
Add: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
3
Add: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN (use DENY only if you never embed your pages in iframes)
4
Add: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
5
Add: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
6
Verify with: curl -sI https://thespike.gg | grep -iE 'content-security|x-frame|x-content|referrer|permissions'
3
Enable DNSSEC on your domain
Without DNSSEC, DNS responses for thespike.gg 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 .gg TLD
4
Verify: dig +dnssec thespike.gg
