westernalliancebancorporation.com has gaps that may weaken protection of employee PII and payroll data under GLBA and IRS e-file safeguards. Prioritize the remediation plan below before relying on this configuration as a defensible posture.

Website soft-header score adjustment applied (−2). Unlock for named header rows and Low remediations.
DNS host signal: Cloudflare nameservers. Unlock for full nameserver list and DNSSEC guidance.
Client discovery: lyncdiscover resolves.
Subdomain email policy gaps detected (DMARC sp=/np=). Unlock for CT subdomain inventory, host DNS table, and ideal-settings checklist.
IPv6 / dual-stack: Website has AAAA; mail MX hosts are IPv4-only or unknown (informational — not scored). Unlock for MX address-family detail.
📊 Audit Scoring Methodology
This tool uses a weighted algorithm focused on GLBA and IRS e-file security requirements:
Identity & Spoofing (40%): Grades SPF terminal mechanism (-all vs exploitable ~all) and DMARC enforcement including explicit sp=reject subdomain policy and np=reject for non-existent subdomains.
Transport Security (5%): Requires MTA-STS mode=enforce (not testing/none), plus TLS-RPT and DNSSEC signals. DNS host, IPv6 dual-stack, and BIMI are shown for guidance and are not primary score drivers.
Website Security (30%): Penalizes missing encryption and clickjacking headers (HSTS, CSP, XFO), plus soft deductions for X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy.
Local Endpoint & Network (20%): Evaluates operating system lifecycle support and active IP masking/VPN usage.
Email Infrastructure (5%): Checks for enterprise-grade routing vs. consumer/shared hosts; small ding only for definitive dangling lyncdiscover (Microsoft Lync legacy targets are Info only).
🔍 Sample from the full report — DMARC is not fully enforced — a primary BEC and wire-fraud vector
Without strict DMARC (p=reject) and SPF (-all), attackers can email employees as your provider:
Toyota Boshoku (2019): Executive impersonation led to $37 million in fraudulent transfers.
Scoular Company (2014): CFO spoofing caused $17.2 million in wire losses.
Provider scenario: A forged payroll@westernalliancebancorporation.com email redirects an employer's ACH file to an attacker-controlled account.
