Weekly updates — and your input shapes them
Each week we re-scan the public web stack of the listed domains and publish the weekly delta plus the lowest and highest grades in the sample. We welcome domain suggestions with clear public interest (states, municipal utilities, KRITIS operators, additional corporates) for the next wave.
Methodology note: Only the public web stack is evaluated (DNS, MX, CSP, HTML, TLS). Internal IT stacks of agencies and corporates are not captured and may differ from the web frontend. Not legal advice.
