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

Hover operates the catania.com domain to offer personalized, ad-free email addresses under the Realnames brand. The service targets individuals and families seeking professional email addresses using their own names. The website presents clear pricing, service benefits, and easy navigation, reflecting a mature business model supported by Tucows, a known parent company. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security measures include CSRF tokens and spam/virus protection, but lack explicit security headers and incident response disclosures. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with room for security and privacy improvements.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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';…

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

Hover positions itself as a specialized provider of personalized email services, leveraging its parent company Tucows' infrastructure. The business model is subscription-based, focusing on domain and email management with added value through spam protection and human support. The target market includes individuals and families valuing personal branding and professional communication. The company maintains a consistent brand presence across social media and provides transparent pricing. Partnerships and affiliations, such as with Tucows, strengthen its market position. Growth potential lies in expanding personalized email offerings and enhancing privacy and security features to meet evolving compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage and CSRF protection in forms. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could impact user trust and regulatory compliance. The presence of tracking scripts without a cookie consent mechanism raises privacy concerns under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but would benefit from enhanced policies, headers, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish detailed security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with integration of Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. However, no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to reduce risks and improve compliance.
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.
