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

The website certified.co.nz currently serves a default cPanel hosting placeholder page indicating that the site is not configured or has been moved. The domain is registered to Sitetech Solutions Ltd T/A SiteName, a hosting provider based in New Zealand, with a domain age dating back to 2000. There is no active business content, marketing information, or services presented on the site. The only contact information is a webmaster email address at the domain. From a technical perspective, the site uses Apache and cPanel technologies with DNS hosted on Cloudflare name servers. The page is basic and minimally optimized for mobile devices, with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. There are no scripts, analytics, or tracking technologies present. Performance is moderate but limited by the lack of actual content. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers. The site exposes a default placeholder page which may leak information about server configuration. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, indicating poor compliance with data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. Overall, the site represents an inactive or misconfigured domain with low trustworthiness and minimal business credibility. Strategic recommendations include properly configuring the website with HTTPS, removing default placeholder pages, implementing security best practices, and publishing privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user 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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

    • 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

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

The domain is owned by Sitetech Solutions Ltd T/A SiteName, a hosting provider in New Zealand, suggesting the domain is likely a client domain not currently in use or under development. There is no evidence of active business operations, revenue streams, or market positioning from the website content. The lack of business description or services indicates this domain is either parked or awaiting deployment. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The domain age is consistent with a long-standing registration but does not correlate with active business presence. The target audience and business model cannot be determined from the available data.

Security posture

The website lacks fundamental security measures such as HTTPS enforcement and security headers, exposing it to potential risks including data interception and clickjacking. The presence of a default cPanel placeholder page suggests server misconfiguration or incomplete deployment, which can leak server information to attackers. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are provided, indicating low security maturity. Compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate improvements to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Remove or replace default hosting placeholder pages to prevent information leakage and improve professionalism.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  5. Establish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server managed via cPanel, with DNS served by Cloudflare. The HTML is valid but minimal, consisting of a default error/placeholder page with inline CSS and no JavaScript or external libraries. The site is partially mobile responsive but lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features. No CMS or modern frameworks are detected. Performance is moderate but limited by the lack of real content. Technical debt is high due to incomplete deployment and missing security configurations. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS, improving content management, and implementing security best practices.
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.
