Biggest gaps for Job Portals, HR & Recruitment sites

The checks with the most room to improve, weighted by impact.

  1. HSTS kept for at least a year

    36% observed · all sites 34%

    Send Strict-Transport-Security on HTTPS responses. Start with a short max-age (for example 300 seconds), confirm every subdomain works over HTTPS, then raise it in steps to 31536000. Add includeSubDomains only when all subdomains are HTTPS. HSTS preload is optional and hard to undo; hstspreload.org itself does not recommend it by default.

  2. security.txt published

    6.2% observed · all sites 7.1%

    Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least Contact and Expires fields, as RFC 9116 requires, and review it before it expires.

  4. CAA records limit who can issue certificates

    14% observed · all sites 13%

    Publish CAA records naming every CA you actually use, including the CAs your CDN uses for managed certificates. Add an iodef contact if you want reports.

  5. DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

    45% observed · all sites 39%

    48% observed · all sites 51%
