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

CLOUD9 is a professional web hosting and data center operator based in Georgia, established in 2015. The company offers a broad range of services including Linux and Windows shared hosting, VPS, VDS, dedicated servers, colocation, domain registration, SSL certificates, and productivity solutions such as Zimbra and Google Workspace. Their market position is strengthened by owning a Tier III carrier-neutral data center in Tbilisi and partnerships with major technology vendors like Microsoft, Cisco, and Juniper. The website targets businesses and enterprises seeking reliable infrastructure and integration services in the Georgian region. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google reCAPTCHA v3, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility compliance. The site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, balanced with a cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, CLOUD9 demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, secure forms with reCAPTCHA, and a cookie consent banner. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, and security headers are not explicitly detected. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website claims, showing a legitimate and stable domain registration since 2015. Overall, CLOUD9 presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with solid business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further enhance their posture and compliance.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

CLOUD9 operates as a medium-sized technology company specializing in hosting and data center services within Georgia. Their business model focuses on providing scalable infrastructure solutions from startups to enterprises, leveraging their own Tier III data center and partnerships with leading technology providers. Revenue streams likely include hosting packages, server rentals, colocation fees, domain registrations, SSL certificates, and productivity software reselling. The company targets local and regional businesses requiring reliable IT infrastructure and cloud services. Their partnership ecosystem includes major hardware and software vendors, enhancing their market credibility. The website content and structure indicate a mature operation with clear growth orientation and customer support focus.

Security posture

The security posture of CLOUD9 is solid with mandatory HTTPS and SSL certificates properly implemented. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. Cookie consent mechanisms align with privacy regulations. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or abuse contact reduces transparency and may impact trust for security-conscious clients. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, which could be improved to harden the site against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Owl Carousel for sliders, and various utility libraries like Clipboard.js and Magnific Popup. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used for spam prevention on forms. The site is mobile optimized with multiple viewport meta tags and uses SEO best practices such as Open Graph metadata and descriptive titles. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility compliance. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional user experience with room for modernization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
