American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd. · Technology · United States
Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.
The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is a well-established nonprofit organization responsible for the administration and management of IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) in North America and parts of the Caribbean. The website clearly reflects ARIN's role as a regional internet registry, providing comprehensive services including resource allocation, policy development, and community engagement. ARIN's market position is strong as one of the five Regional Internet Registries globally, serving a technical and policy-focused audience. The business model is nonprofit and membership-based, emphasizing transparency and community participation. Technically, the website is built using modern technologies such as the Hugo static site generator, Bootstrap framework, and Font Awesome icons. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, with asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, ARIN enforces HTTPS and demonstrates secure login mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a cookie consent banner indicate areas for enhancement. The WHOIS data for the www.arin.net subdomain is missing, likely due to registry policies or subdomain status, but this does not detract from the overall legitimacy of the site. Incident response and abuse reporting channels are clearly indicated, supporting a mature security posture. Overall, ARIN's website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its nonprofit mission. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and clarifying WHOIS data where possible to enhance transparency and trust.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.

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

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
