71/100

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

The website certipedia.com currently returns a 503 Service Unavailable error indicating that no server is available to handle requests. This results in a complete lack of accessible content, metadata, or interactive elements. The domain registration data is consistent and legitimate, registered since 2012 with a reputable registrar and name servers aligned with the TÜV Rheinland brand. However, the absence of website content prevents any meaningful analysis of business operations, services, or user engagement. The technical infrastructure cannot be assessed beyond the domain registration data. Security posture is unknown due to lack of accessible content and no security headers or HTTPS information provided. Overall, the site is inaccessible, resulting in a low AI score and inability to evaluate compliance or trustworthiness beyond domain legitimacy.

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.

    • 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

    • 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 14 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Due to the inaccessible website content, no detailed business intelligence can be derived. The domain is associated with TÜV Rheinland's Certipedia service, which typically provides certification information. The domain age and registrar suggest an established presence, but no current business details, market positioning, or services are available from the site itself.

Security posture

The security posture cannot be fully assessed due to lack of accessible content and absence of security headers or HTTPS confirmation. The domain uses clientTransferProhibited status which is a positive indicator against unauthorized transfers. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a minor security gap. No incident response or security policy information is available. The site should implement HTTPS, security headers, and publish security and privacy policies to improve posture.

Recommendations

  1. Restore website availability to provide accessible content and services.
  2. Implement HTTPS with valid SSL/TLS certificates to secure communications.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security.
  4. Publish privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to comply with regulations.
  5. Add clear contact and incident response information to improve trust and compliance.
Site observations

  6. No security headers or HTTPS information available from provided data.
  7. No evidence of tracking, analytics, or advertising technologies.
  8. Content safety is rated safe due to lack of content.
  9. AI scoring is heavily penalized due to lack of accessible content.
Technical notes

Notes

The website currently returns a 503 error with minimal HTML content, indicating server unavailability or maintenance. No technologies, frameworks, or CMS could be detected. The domain uses name servers under tuv.com, suggesting hosting by TÜV Rheinland or related infrastructure. No performance, SEO, or accessibility features can be evaluated. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical improvements are needed once the site is restored.
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.
