The tests is not indicative of the security of respect services or product offerings – but simply a comparison on level of attention to company web sites.

Results

Overall – Securiti.AI was Ranked #1, followed by Elevate Security #2, Inky #3, AppOmni #4, Sqreen #5, Obsidian #6, Blubracket #7, Talasecurity #8, Vulcan Cyber #9 and forallsecure #10.

Note rank order differs slightly from UpGuard score due to additional checks, essentially sorting Left to Right (best to worst) based on results.

Web Server (QS_Scan) – Most sites had implemented TLS (9/10), however some still allowing TLS 1.1.

Browser Security (SH_Scan) Few had implemented security all headers options (STS CSP XFO XCTO RP FP).

Only 1 (Securiti.AI) had fully implemented.

Email security (FM_Scan) was less than ideal (considering Phishing is major threat vector) with only 2 having implemented DMARC with SPF (reject or quarantine).

DNS Security (DNSSEC) – Only 2/10 had implemented DNS Security.
