Thanks Jon for the suggestions, I'll give ssh-audit a try. I'll also check
if I can get more specific information from SecurityScorecard. I found they have a
bot that responds if you question a reported security issue with details why they
believe it's an issue (they say they will escalate to a real person if you persist).

Having fun! ;-)
