Independent Cybersecurity Audits

EmailMeNow domain audits on August 14, 2026 scored 5 filer domains in this batch. 3 of 5 show 15% Transport Security or below — a recurring gap that makes spoofed breach-notification email easier to deliver. Mountain Rheumatology Professional, LLC (mountain.com) leads at 53% overall; Integrative Emergency Services, LLC (integrative.com) scores 24%.

Pattern: Scores below the 100% ideal on identity or transport still leave room for spoofed incident-response email — even when website headers score higher.
