What Gets Tested

Eight checks, one complete picture

Radar was built to give MSPs a complete view of inbound and outbound email security factors at play.

It performs a series of checks to identify vulnerabilities including inbound and outbound TLS encryption, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, domain/IP reputation, reverse DNS and email spy tracking.

The Score

A credit score for email

After analyzing the email systems in question, Radar weighs the pros and cons and tallies them as a security score. Think of it like a credit score for email.

The higher the score, the stronger the security posture.

The Report

Everything you need to act on what Radar finds

A Radar report breaks down every check in plain English—what passed, what didn't, and exactly what to fix.

MSPs receive a clear, actionable summary that's ready to act on for existing clients or start a conversation with new ones.

Improve your score

We strongly recommend making the following changes to get a better score and improve the safety of your domain. Once you make these changes, run Radar again to update your score.

Critical

Setup DKIM for yourdomain.com

DKIM stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail and is used for the authentication of an email that's being sent. A DKIM record exists in the DNS, but it is a bit more complicated than SPF. DKIM's advantage is that it can survive forwarding, which makes it superior to SPF and a foundation for securing your email.

Critical

Setup DMARC for yourdomain.com

Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is a free and open technical specification that is used to authenticate an email by aligning SPF and DKIM mechanisms. By having DMARC in place, domain owners large and small can fight business email compromise, phishing and spoofing.

Understanding your score

Your Radar security score is based on the tests that pass or fail during the security check. These results are fed into the Radar algorithm to calculate your score. The maximum score is 850. The scoring factors are listed below.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Radar cost?

Radar is completely free to use.

How often can I run a test?

As often as needed. Radar is useful any time changes are made to an email configuration, or as a regular health check. Down the road we'll add even more features to help you view the big picture of your email security over time, so stay tuned.

How is this different from tools like MX Toolbox?

Most tools check whether records like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are present and correctly formatted. Radar tests whether they actually work in practice by sending a real email and analyzing a full delivery loop.

What security checks does Radar perform?

Radar checks eight key areas: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, inbound TLS encryption, outbound TLS encryption, reverse DNS, email spy tracking, and IP reputation. Each is scored and weighted toward a maximum of 850.

What does the score mean?

Scores fall into one of four categories:
  • 0–399: Critical vulnerabilities that should be addressed immediately.
  • 400–599: Several warning factors that need to be looked into.
  • 600–749: Solid measures are in place, but there's still room for improvement.
  • 750–850: You've nailed it and can now go brag to all your friends.

What happens to my email address?

It's used only to run your security test. Mailprotector does not use it for marketing, does not sell it, and does not share it with anyone.
