Security maturity

security.txt check

A small published file that tells security researchers how to report a problem with your site to you.

Check this on your own domain now. It is free with a DomainGuard account and works on any domain. The check reads only what your domain publishes, and gives you a report you can send to whoever runs your website.

What we look at

We look for /.well-known/security.txt (or /security.txt) and check that it holds real security.txt fields, such as Contact, rather than an ordinary web page.

Why it matters to your business

When a researcher finds a flaw in your site, security.txt is how they find someone to tell. Without it, the report may never reach you, or reach you as a public post.

How to fix it

  1. Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least: Contact: mailto:security@yourdomain and an Expires: date.

If you would rather not touch DNS or server settings yourself, forward this page and your report to whoever manages your website, or ask us to do it.

Check your own site for this

A free outside-in check of your website, email and domain records, with what to fix first. No card and no password to choose.

Free, no card, no password to choose: your name and email make a free DomainGuard account that keeps the report, and we email you a link to confirm it. We only read what the internet can already see.
