Independent Cybersecurity Audits

EmailMeNow domain audits on September 4, 2026 scored 3 filer domains in this batch. 3 of 3 show 15% Transport Security or below — a recurring gap that makes spoofed breach-notification email easier to deliver. LHC Group, Inc. (lhcgroup.com) leads at 49% overall; Catalyst Brands LLC (catalystbrandstrategy.com) scores 37%.

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