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

3 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 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 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

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

Atom.com operates as a medium-sized technology and e-commerce business focused on domain marketplaces and branding services. Its competitive advantage lies in combining domain sales with branding contests, AI-powered tools, and research services, catering to a broad target audience of startups and businesses. Revenue streams likely include domain sales, contest fees, trademark services, and premium branding tools. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem including affiliate programs and help desk support. Growth indicators include extensive service offerings and a well-structured website with strong trust signals such as testimonials and Trustpilot ratings. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in AI tools and customer engagement to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is addressed through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The site uses reputable third-party monitoring and analytics tools, which should be regularly audited for security. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and incident response procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates advanced monitoring and analytics tools such as New Relic and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. Performance is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness is excellent. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not publicly available. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring and modernization are recommended to maintain operational excellence.
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.
