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

The website com.de operates as a domain registry platform offering .COM.DE domain registrations, targeting businesses seeking a German digital identity with global accessibility. It positions itself as a flexible alternative to the traditional .de domain, emphasizing no residency or business restrictions and appealing to both local German businesses and international companies entering the German market. The site provides domain search and registration services with a professional and user-friendly interface. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, jQuery, Underscore.js, and Bootstrap Grid for layout. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with comprehensive metadata and Open Graph tags. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no cookie consent mechanism despite the use of tracking scripts, indicating partial privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure form inputs but lacks visible advanced security headers and a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program. Incident response is handled via a partner, Gen.xyz, which manages abuse and support. WHOIS data indicates the domain is managed by CentralNic name servers, consistent with a legitimate registry operation. No suspicious patterns or privacy protection concerns are noted. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business model and technical foundation with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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 business operates in the domain registry sector, focusing on providing .COM.DE domains as an alternative to the .de ccTLD. Its competitive advantage lies in offering unrestricted registration without local presence requirements, appealing to a broad international audience targeting the German market. Revenue streams likely include domain registration fees and related services. The target customers are German businesses, startups, and international companies expanding into Germany. The partnership with Gen.xyz for support services indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, positioning itself as a niche player in the domain registration market with growth potential through premium domain offerings.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and secure input forms but lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are evident in the HTML content. Incident response and abuse handling are outsourced to Gen.xyz, which provides a clear abuse contact channel. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts. There is no published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program. Overall, the site shows awareness of basic security but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and vulnerability disclosure program on the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Provide explicit information about SSL/TLS configuration and ensure best practices are followed.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and common technology stack including jQuery, Underscore.js, Bootstrap Grid, and Modernizr for feature detection. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and analytics. The site is responsive and mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts. The domain uses CentralNic name servers, typical for domain registries. There is no detected CMS or hosting provider information. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy mechanisms are recommended to reduce risk 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.
