What drags scores down

The same gaps recur across almost every sector. Each is fixable, and each is worth real points on your score.

  • DMARC stuck on p=none: monitoring, but protecting nothing
  • SPF drifted over the 10-lookup limit and quietly failing
  • No MTA-STS or TLS-RPT, so inbound mail can be downgraded
  • DKIM keys missing on key senders, or weak and stale

How to beat the Energy & Utilities average

The biggest single jump comes from moving DMARC to enforcement, safely. Identify your senders, fix the gaps, and advance to p=reject when the impact is zero. DMARCER does each step for you: see the enforcement journey, or start with a free check of your own domain.
