No DKIM key at the common selectors; it may use one that cannot be guessed.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff stops browsers guessing file types.
- Framing2/2
Other sites cannot frame its pages (clickjacking protection).
- Referrer-Policyno-referrer-when-downgrade0.5/0.5

What is graded
A valid certificate (an invalid one means F), its expiry against its lifetime, TLS 1.3, no TLS 1.0/1.1 (else at most B), http:// sent straight to https://, HSTS, HTTP/2.
At least two name servers that all answer and agree, DNSSEC, CAA records, and a registration that is not about to expire.
SPF, a DMARC policy that rejects forgeries (none means at most B), MTA-STS and TLS reporting for domains that take mail, DKIM at common selectors.
Content Security Policy, nosniff, framing protection, Referrer- and Permissions-Policy, IPv6, and an RPKI-valid route (invalid means at most C).
DNS from more than one provider, and the website, DNS and email not all with one company.
