0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

AC Webconnecting B.V. is a well-established technology company based in the Netherlands, specializing in domain registry services and web infrastructure. They are the official registry operator for the .CAM generic top-level domain (gTLD), demonstrating a strong market position in the domain registration and internet services sector. Their business model includes managing domain extensions, providing bandwidth, and offering web hosting and streaming solutions to a global customer base. The company has a medium-sized footprint with over 20 years of operational history and a broad partner network. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and the Foundation framework. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and multilingual support. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended to enhance security posture. The contact form is protected by reCAPTCHA, reducing spam risk. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be improved to increase trust and compliance. Overall, the website and business demonstrate a solid and trustworthy presence with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security policies, DNS security, and privacy compliance would further strengthen their position and reduce risk.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

AC Webconnecting operates in the competitive domain registry and web services market with a unique advantage as the official .CAM gTLD registry. Their extensive partner network and global reach position them well for growth. The company leverages partnerships and reseller channels to expand domain registrations and related services. Their infrastructure includes multiple data centers connected by dark fiber, enabling high performance and security. Customer testimonials and a high satisfaction rate indicate strong client relationships. The business targets both corporate and individual customers seeking domain and hosting services, with a focus on innovative streaming and content delivery technologies. The inclusion of real estate projects like Dutch Masters suggests diversification or partnership ventures. Overall, AC Webconnecting shows strategic market positioning with a focus on technology and telecommunications sectors.

Security posture

The security posture of AC Webconnecting is moderate. The use of HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status are positive indicators. The integration of Google reCAPTCHA on the contact form helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps that could expose the site to DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which is a missed opportunity for responsible vulnerability management. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, enhancements are recommended to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Foundation CSS framework and jQuery. It uses Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA for enhanced user experience and security. Interactive maps are implemented with Leaflet.js using OpenStreetMap tiles. The site is responsive and supports multiple languages. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected but could benefit from optimization. No CMS or backend technology is explicitly identified. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve load times. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with improved SEO and accessibility compliance.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
