Description:

Verifies that the DMARC point of contact includes "reports@dmarc.cyber.dhs.gov".

Why:

Email spoofing attempts are not inherently visible to domain owners. DMARC provides a mechanism to receive reports of spoofing attempts. Including reports@dmarc.cyber.dhs.gov as a point of contact for these reports gives CISA insight into spoofing attempts and is required by BOD 18-01 for FCEB departments and agencies.

Configured: The DMARC point of contact includes "reports@dmarc.cyber.dhs.gov".

Not Configured: The DMARC point of contact does not include "reports@dmarc.cyber.dhs.gov".

Scoring: Contributes up to 1 point to the Posture Recommendations score.
