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 Healthcare & Life Sciences 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.
