See Red Bridge Cyber in Action

Two real scans, side by side. One is our own site, to show what is achievable for a small Australian business that works at it. The other is example.com, the domain the internet reserves for documentation - top marks for speed and DNS, failing grades for web security and search visibility. That unevenness is what a real scan usually looks like, and it is why we report five categories rather than one number. Watch the portal walkthrough for each and download the sample PDF report to see exactly what you get.

Red Bridge Cyber - our own site

What good looks like for a small Australian business that takes its public-facing posture seriously. We run our own product against our own site, every day.

What to watch for

  • Email category - SPF, DKIM, DMARC at reject, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT all in place.
  • Domain category - DNSSEC enabled, CAA published, certificate auto-renewing.
  • Security category - HSTS preloaded, CSP enforced, no version disclosure.
  • Visibility category - schema, sitemaps, AI-search citation surface all configured.
  • Even a clean sweep still leaves a list - ours flags unused JavaScript and OCSP stapling.

example.com - a mixed result

The domain the internet reserves for documentation, scanned exactly the way a customer’s site is. It comes back strong in two categories and failing in two others - the uneven picture most real scans produce, and the reason one overall score would tell you nothing useful.

What to watch for

  • Speed and Domain categories - A+ each. Fast, DNSSEC signed, clean certificate chain.
  • Security category - F. Port 80 never redirects to HTTPS, no HSTS, no Content-Security-Policy, and TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are both still accepted.
  • Visibility category - F. Technical SEO 53 out of 100, no structured data at all, robots.txt and sitemap.xml both missing.
  • Email category - no grade. The domain publishes that it sends no mail, so there is nothing to test and the report says so rather than guessing.

Both scans are live - we re-scan our own site and example.com on the same continuous cadence every customer’s site is scanned on, and the walkthroughs and reports above are refreshed periodically so what you see is current. Nothing here is staged: these are the real findings the scanner returned, including the ones still outstanding on our own site.

example.com is set aside by IANA for documentation and examples, which is exactly why we use it. It is a real, publicly-reachable site that belongs to no customer of ours, so we can publish its results in full without asking anyone’s permission or pointing at a competitor.
