TOOLBOX · WEBSITE SECURITY CHECK

Your Website. One Grade.

Seven checks in one run: headers, encryption, email, DNS, cookies, embedded content and security.txt. Enter a domain, get an overall grade, view the details.

The bot check protects the toolbox against automated abuse.

We check the website and its DNS records once from outside, the way a browser or mail server sees them. This takes up to 30 seconds. We do not store results permanently.

SEVEN AREAS

What Goes Into
the Grade.

Each area is also a tool of its own. In the report, every line leads directly to the details for your domain.

QUESTIONS

Good to Know.

What does the website security check test?

Seven areas in one run: security headers, SSL/TLS, email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS), DNS security (DNSSEC, CAA, name servers), cookies, embedded content (mixed content, Subresource Integrity) and security.txt. Each area also has its own check with all the details.

How is the overall grade calculated?

Each area gets its own grade from A+ to F and a score from 0 to 100. The overall grade is the weighted average score: headers 25, SSL/TLS 20, email 20, DNS 10, cookies 10, content 10 and security.txt 5. If one of the core areas has a critical finding, the overall grade is C at best; a missing security.txt alone only lowers the score. An area that could not be checked does not count.

Is the check a penetration test?

No. The check only reads what your website and your DNS deliver publicly, as a browser or mail server does too. It does not try out vulnerabilities, submits no forms and scans no ports. For a penetration test, talk to us.

Why does the check take up to 30 seconds?

The seven areas run at the same time but take different amounts of time: the TLS check opens several connections with different protocol versions, and the email check queries numerous DNS records. If an area takes longer than 30 seconds, it appears as not checked.

Does TOMORIS store my input or the result?

No, not permanently. The result stays in memory for five minutes and is deleted after six minutes at the latest. Details are in the privacy policy in the Toolbox section.

You Have the Result.
What Comes Next?

We assess findings, prioritize by risk and put changes into practice on request: as a project with EXPERTS or as ongoing operations with GRID.
