Identity Findings
No MX records found
The domain has no MX records and cannot receive email.
💡 Publish MX records pointing to your mail server(s).
No DKIM records found
No DKIM records were found after probing 56 common selectors. The domain may use a custom selector not discoverable via external scan.
💡 Configure DKIM signing and publish the public key at <selector>._domainkey.strategyand.pwc.com
Very low TTL on MX records: 286s
2 MX records have a TTL of 286s or less (below 300s).
💡 Increase the TTL to at least 300 seconds unless frequent changes are expected.
SPF record is valid
The SPF record is properly configured with valid syntax and within lookup limits.
SPF record length OK (80 bytes)
SPF record is within safe DNS packet size limits.
All external report destinations authorized
External DMARC report destinations have valid authorization records per RFC 7489 §7.1.
No deprecated DMARCbis tags present
The DMARC record does not use any tags deprecated in DMARCbis (pct, rf, ri).
DKIM cryptographic configuration is compliant
No RFC 8301 compliance issues detected in DKIM key configuration.
DMARC alignment: adkim=s, aspf=s
DKIM alignment is strict, SPF alignment is strict.
DMARC failure reporting: fo=1
Failure reports generated when any authentication mechanism fails.
DMARCbis np tag absent
The DMARC record does not include the np (non-existent subdomain policy) tag. Consider adding np=reject to protect non-existent subdomains under DMARCbis.
DMARCbis psd tag absent
The DMARC record does not include the psd (public suffix domain) indicator. Consider adding psd=n to explicitly identify this as an organizational domain.
Attack Surface Findings
All MX records resolve correctly
No dangling MX records detected — all MX hostnames resolve to valid IP addresses.
Explicit MX records present
The domain has explicit MX records — no implicit A-record fallback delivery.

DMARC Policy
DMARC policy: reject
⚠️ DKIM signature is missing. DMARC relies on DKIM to verify email integrity and prevent tampering. Without DKIM, DMARC alignment will fail for cryptographic verification.

Enforced Encryption Chain
MTA-STS enforces TLS encryption to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
TLS Support
Mail servers support TLS encryption
→
MTA-STS Policy
MTA-STS not configured
⚠️ MTA-STS policy is missing. Even with TLS support, you lack the enforcement layer that prevents attackers from stripping encryption (downgrade attacks).

BIMI Record
BIMI not configured
⚠️ BIMI record is missing. Even with DMARC enforcement, you need to configure BIMI to display your brand logo in supported email clients.

TLS-RPT Reporting
TLS-RPT not configured
⚠️ TLS-RPT is not configured. Without TLS reporting, you have no visibility into TLS connection failures that may be impacting email delivery.
