An independent cybersecurity review across major New Mexico banks reveals a wide range of results. Many organizations handle sensitive communications daily, yet show significant gaps in email authentication and transport security.
Using data from audit.emailmenow.com, we evaluated each domain across email, website, and network security — including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS/TLS, and security headers.

What the Results Reveal
- Scores span 77% down to 45% — 3 of 6 reach a Good (70%+) posture.
- 2 of 6 scored below 60%, leaving stakeholders exposed to phishing and impersonation.
- Weak authentication undermines compliance expectations and increases BEC and wire-fraud risk.
Why This Matters in New Mexico
New Mexico banks are bound by the GLBA Safeguards Rule and FFIEC guidance. Weak email authentication is a direct path to business email compromise and wire fraud.
