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

BookMyName is a domain registration and email service provider operating as a subsidiary of Scaleway SAS, itself part of the Iliad Group. The website targets individuals and businesses seeking domain management solutions, offering services such as domain registration, transfer, renewal, and Whois lookup. The company positions itself as a reliable and professional provider in the domain registration market, with clear service offerings and pricing. Technically, the website uses jQuery and Segment Analytics for tracking, hosted on Scaleway infrastructure. The site has moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks a valid SSL certificate, which significantly impacts security posture. Security practices include DNS SPF and DMARC records and a cookie consent mechanism, but critical gaps exist such as missing HTTPS, no security headers, and no DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie banner present. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

5 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

BookMyName operates in the domain registration sector under Scaleway SAS, leveraging the parent company's infrastructure and brand. The business model focuses on domain lifecycle management services with additional email offerings. Market positioning benefits from affiliation with Iliad Group and AFNIC membership, providing credibility. The target audience includes both individual and corporate customers seeking domain services primarily in Europe, especially France. Revenue streams likely include domain registration fees, renewals, and transfers. The company maintains a moderate digital presence with clear navigation and service descriptions but lacks direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site, relying on contact forms. The partnership ecosystem includes ICANN and AFNIC, aligning with industry standards. Growth potential exists through enhanced security and expanded service offerings.

Security posture

The current security posture of BookMyName is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. DNS records show SPF and DMARC configurations, which help mitigate email spoofing but DNSSEC and CAA records are missing, reducing DNS security. No security headers are implemented, and TLS protocols are disabled, indicating outdated or misconfigured SSL/TLS setup. The cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations, but no explicit security policy or vulnerability disclosure program is published. Incident response contact is partially addressed via abuse reporting links. Overall, the site is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and lacks modern security best practices, necessitating immediate remediation to protect user data and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Configure and enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance DNS security and certificate issuance control.
  5. Publish a comprehensive security policy and establish a vulnerability disclosure program.
  6. Improve privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer user data handling information.
  7. Add direct contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and support.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard HTML with CSS and JavaScript, including jQuery and Segment Analytics for user tracking. Hosting is provided by Scaleway, with DNS managed on Scaleway nameservers. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 2.6 seconds and 24 resources loaded. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and security risk. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or lightweight implementation. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and enhanced keyboard navigation support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
