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

The website asdc.co.uk is a domain sales landing page operated by Nameshift.com, a domain marketplace and escrow service provider based in the Netherlands. The site offers a safe and fast way to purchase the domain asdc.co.uk, leveraging escrow services to protect buyers and providing free domain transfer assistance. The business targets domain investors and buyers seeking secure domain acquisition. The website is built with modern technologies such as SvelteKit and includes trust signals like a Trustpilot widget and verified seller badge. However, it lacks privacy and cookie policies, and no direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, which limits transparency. WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, including a future domain creation date and registrant information pointing to the registrar rather than the business, which reduces trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. Overall, the site is functional and moderately professional but could improve in compliance and security transparency.

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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. 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 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';…

  4. 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

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

Nameshift.com operates as a domain marketplace and escrow service, facilitating domain sales with a focus on buyer protection and fast transfers. The business model relies on commissions paid by sellers, offering free services to buyers. The company has been active since 2004 and is positioned as a trusted intermediary in the domain sales market. The target audience includes domain investors and buyers looking for secure transactions. The presence of VAT and company registration details indicates a legitimate business entity. The partnership ecosystem includes Trustpilot for reputation management. Growth indicators are limited due to the single domain sales landing page nature. The company could benefit from expanding contact options and publishing comprehensive policies to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the HTML content. The use of an escrow service for domain transactions is a strong security practice that mitigates buyer risk. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and security headers indicates gaps in compliance and security best practices. The WHOIS inconsistencies also raise concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing policies, and providing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Correct or clarify WHOIS registration data to remove inconsistencies and improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO by adding ARIA attributes and improving meta tags and structured data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the SvelteKit framework, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS technologies. It uses module preloading and web fonts for performance optimization. Hosting is provided by Hosting Concepts B.V., a European registrar and hosting provider. The site includes external scripts for Trustpilot reviews and analytics tracking via stats.nameshift.com. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and compliance policies suggests areas for modernization. The site could improve SEO and accessibility features to enhance user experience and search engine ranking.
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.
