What this gap means

No security.txt was found at /.well-known/security.txt or /security.txt on the final host, so a researcher who finds a vulnerability has no published contact.

Control: security.txt (RFC 9116). Rule: no_security_txt over the census record (reachable sites only). Who buys this: Security teams, vulnerability-disclosure and attack-surface vendors, MSPs serving state and local government.

The obligation it maps to

CISA BOD 20-01: vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt: Federal civilian executive-branch agencies must publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and a security.txt file on their .gov domains (Binding Operational Directive 20-01, September 2020). The census reads /.well-known/security.txt and /security.txt and checks the Contact and Expires lines that RFC 9116 requires. Source

By state

56 states with at least one .gov domain on this list; "of the state" is the share of its .gov domains in the census list. One state as CSV: 0.25 USDC (x402).

Atom feed: .gov domains that entered or left this list according to the live re-checks (every 6 hours a rotating slice, each domain at most once per 14 days; each entry says which way it moved and which field changed). no-security-txt.top.json: the first 50 rows and the counts by state as JSON, CORS open. Fields watched: security_txt.

Membership reflects the homepage and well-known files as fetched on 2026-09-30: a control that exists but was not found where the census looked counts as missing, and sites answering 403 to our one polite request count as reachable. Every domain links to its record with what to fix, a JSON twin, a badge and a changes feed. Data licence CC BY 4.0. Not legal advice.
