Methodology: the source list was the Tranco daily top 1M downloaded on September 4, 2026, filtered to .gov domains. Vigilai scanned public response headers only: HTTPS reachability, TLS validity, HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. The first 100 HTTPS-reachable domains were ranked by grade, then failure count, warning count, and source rank. 12 domains were skipped because HTTPS could not be reached during the snapshot.
Source: Tranco daily top 1M domain ranking, filtered to .gov domains. Grades are a point-in-time snapshot and can change when site operators update headers. To check a specific property right now, run a free live scan.
