Grade Scale

A
90–100

Excellent compliance posture. Minor improvements possible.

B
80–89

Good compliance. A few findings to address.

C
65–79

Moderate risk. Multiple compliance gaps identified.

D
50–64

Significant risk. Critical issues need immediate attention.

F
0–49

Severe compliance failure. Major vulnerabilities exposed.

10 Scoring Categories

Each category is weighted by its impact on HIPAA compliance risk.

Email Security

35%HIGH

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration. Email is the #1 attack vector in healthcare — misconfigured email authentication enables phishing, spoofing, and business email compromise.

Application Security

13%HIGH

CMS vulnerabilities, JavaScript library exploits, subresource integrity, mixed content, and open redirect flaws. Covers the security posture of your web-facing applications.

Privacy & Compliance

10%MEDIUM

Privacy policy presence, cookie consent mechanisms, form security, and HIPAA BAA status with your hosting provider. Measures visible compliance posture.

Network Security

9%MEDIUM

Open ports across all resolved IPs, RDP exposure, SMB exposure, LDAP exposure, Exchange/OWA detection, and firewall presence. Tests your network perimeter.

Information Leakage

9%MEDIUM

HTML comment exposure, directory listings, error disclosure, exposed backup files, sensitive paths, and robots.txt analysis. Checks for data your site accidentally reveals.

Breach History

6%MEDIUM

Cross-references your practice against the HHS breach portal, Shodan InternetDB, and deep breach databases. Past breaches indicate systemic compliance gaps.

SSL/TLS

5%LOW

Certificate validity, chain completeness, supported TLS versions, cipher suite strength, and HSTS configuration. The foundation of encrypted communications.

DNS Health

5%LOW

DNSSEC deployment, CAA records, zone transfer protection, subdomain enumeration, and WHOIS privacy. DNS misconfigurations can expose your entire infrastructure.

Patching Cadence

4%LOW

Server software versions, known CVEs, banner exposure, and technology fingerprinting. Outdated software is a top exploitation vector in healthcare breaches.

Infrastructure

4%LOW

Hosting provider identification, CDN presence, WAF detection, cache control headers, and server configuration. Measures the security maturity of your hosting environment.

Cap Rules

Any HIGH-weight category below 40Maximum grade: D
Any HIGH-weight category below 20Maximum grade: F
2+ HIGH-weight categories below 50Maximum grade: F

Cap rules prevent inflated grades. A practice cannot earn an A overall while failing critical compliance areas.

How to Improve Your Score

Top 3 quick wins that move the needle the most.

#1

Add a DMARC record

+8–12 points

DMARC is the highest-impact single fix. It tells email servers how to handle messages that fail SPF or DKIM. Without it, anyone can spoof your practice's email address.

#2

Enable HSTS

+3–5 points

HTTP Strict Transport Security forces browsers to use HTTPS. One header addition prevents SSL stripping attacks and improves both your SSL/TLS and application security scores.

#3

Add a privacy policy

+4–6 points

A visible, linked privacy policy is both a HIPAA requirement and a trust signal. The agent checks for it via anchor tags, footer text, sitemap, and common URL paths.
