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

The website ARACO.COM serves as a landing page for the sale of the premium domain name ARACO.COM, managed by MarkUpgrade, a domain brokerage service targeting established businesses and funded startups. The site emphasizes the strategic value of premium domain names in brand positioning and growth. The business model is focused on domain sales and brokerage, with a clear but minimalistic presentation. The website is built using Webflow CMS and includes modern web fonts and jQuery for basic interactivity. The technical infrastructure appears standard for a small-scale domain sales landing page, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization but limited SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is basic; no security headers or policies are published, and DNSSEC is not enabled on the domain. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, with a long history dating back to 2000 and registrar-imposed domain status locks to prevent unauthorized changes. Overall, the site is professional but minimal, lacking privacy and cookie policies and direct contact information on the page, which limits user trust and compliance. Recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, improving security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and providing clearer contact details to enhance credibility and compliance.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

MarkUpgrade positions itself as a niche domain brokerage service specializing in strategic-grade premium domain names for businesses and startups. The market positioning leverages the value of domain names as strategic assets rather than just creative identifiers. The business model is transactional, selling or negotiating domain acquisitions. The target customers are established companies and funded startups seeking premium branding assets. The website content and branding are consistent but minimal, indicating a focused but small-scale operation. There is a LinkedIn presence linked, suggesting some level of professional networking. No direct revenue streams or partnerships are evident from the site. The lack of comprehensive contact information and policies suggests a lean operation with potential growth opportunities in compliance and customer engagement.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is basic and could be improved. The domain uses HTTPS (implied by modern web standards and external assets loaded via HTTPS), but no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security are detected. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity to secure DNS integrity. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which limits transparency and trust. The WHOIS data shows domain status locks that protect against unauthorized transfers or deletions, which is a positive security indicator. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from enhanced security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide direct contact information including company emails and phone numbers on the website to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing Google Fonts (Montserrat) and jQuery 3.5.1 for font loading and basic scripting. The site loads CSS and JS assets from superlander.com and cloudfront.net CDNs, indicating a modern content delivery approach. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and media queries. Accessibility features are basic, with some font smoothing CSS but no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. Performance is moderate given the external dependencies and minimal content. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The site lacks advanced SEO features like structured data (JSON-LD) or sitemap references. Overall, the technical implementation is adequate for a simple domain sales landing page but could be enhanced for better SEO, accessibility, and security.
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.
