Understanding Our Security Checks

The HTTPS group checks whether your website properly encrypts all traffic using SSL/TLS, redirects insecure HTTP requests, and enforces secure connections through browser policies. These are the foundational checks for any secure website.

The Web Application group evaluates security headers, cookie configurations, and browser-enforced protections that defend your users against common web-based attacks like XSS, clickjacking, and session hijacking.

The Infrastructure group examines your server-side security posture, including whether a Web Application Firewall is protecting your site and how much server information is exposed to potential attackers.

The DNS group checks your domain's DNS security posture, including whether DNSSEC is enabled to protect against spoofing attacks and whether your nameservers are properly configured for reliability.

The Email Authentication group checks whether your domain has the proper DNS records configured to prevent email spoofing and phishing attacks. These protocols work together to verify that emails claiming to come from your domain are legitimate.

InternetSecure Uptime Monitoring continuously checks your websites and services from multiple geographic locations to ensure they are online and responding correctly. When downtime is detected, you are alerted immediately via your configured notification channels (Slack, Email, or JIRA) so you can respond quickly and minimise impact.

Checks run at regular intervals from four independent monitoring nodes. A consensus-based approach is used to avoid false positives — multiple nodes must agree that a service is down before an alert is triggered.
