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

BanaHosting is a well-established web hosting and domain registration provider founded in 2007. The company offers a broad range of hosting solutions including shared web hosting, reseller hosting, semi-dedicated hosting, VPS servers, and dedicated servers, targeting individuals and businesses seeking reliable and affordable hosting services. Their market position is supported by a long domain registration history and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, integrates Google Analytics for user tracking, and uses Cloudflare DNS services, contributing to good performance and mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site benefits from HTTPS and DDoS protection but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy and cookie policy present but no explicit consent mechanism. Contact information is primarily via support forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with room for improvement in security and privacy practices.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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

BanaHosting operates in the technology sector as a medium-sized web hosting provider with a diversified product portfolio catering to various customer segments from personal bloggers to businesses requiring dedicated servers. Their business model revolves around subscription-based hosting services and domain registrations, supplemented by affiliate marketing programs. The company demonstrates consistent branding and trust signals such as money-back guarantees and 24/7 expert support. Their digital presence includes active social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, enhancing customer engagement. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the main site suggests a focus on centralized support ticketing systems. The domain's long registration history and lack of privacy protection in WHOIS data reinforce the company's legitimacy and operational transparency.

Security posture

The security posture of BanaHosting's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the company advertises DDoS protection and uses Cloudflare DNS, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is limited by the lack of explicit cookie consent mechanisms and no published security or incident response policies. The company does not provide direct security contact channels or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance trust and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add explicit cookie consent banners or mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap 4.5.2 for responsive design, jQuery 3.3.1 for DOM manipulation, and Popper.js for UI components. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site loads external CSS and JS from reputable CDNs, contributing to fast performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive layouts and accessible navigation. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Cloudflare. The site shows no signs of technical debt or broken elements. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and privacy compliance to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
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.
