Independent Cybersecurity Audits

EmailMeNow domain audits on September 4, 2026 scored 2 filer domains in this batch. 2 of 2 show 15% Transport Security or below — a recurring gap that makes spoofed breach-notification email easier to deliver. Beaver County Behavioral Health (beavercountypa.gov) leads at 43% overall; Minuteman Press Macon (minutemanpress.com) scores 41%.

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