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

The website com.de operates as a domain registry service offering .COM.DE domain registrations as a flexible alternative to the traditional .DE domains, targeting businesses seeking a German market presence without local residency restrictions. It positions itself as a niche player combining German identity with global accessibility, catering to both local German businesses and international companies entering Germany. The site provides domain search and registration services, supported by a partnership with Gen.xyz for customer support and abuse handling. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript with jQuery and Underscore.js, and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. Hosting is inferred to be via CentralNic, a known domain registry provider. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices but lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance and user privacy. Incident response is facilitated through Gen.xyz's abuse team, but no dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page is present. The WHOIS data is consistent with a legitimate domain registry operation but lacks detailed registrant information. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for its domain registration services with moderate security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy mechanisms, and direct contact information would enhance trust 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.

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

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 targets a specialized market segment by offering .COM.DE domains as an alternative to .DE, addressing the challenge of domain scarcity in Germany's competitive digital market. Its business model revolves around domain registration and sales, leveraging partnerships with established providers like Gen.xyz for support services. The company appeals to both local German businesses and international brands, positioning itself as a flexible and accessible option without residency restrictions. The lack of direct company registration details and phone contacts suggests a lean operation focused on domain services rather than broader enterprise functions. The partnership ecosystem includes CentralNic for DNS and registry infrastructure and Gen.xyz for customer support, indicating a reliance on trusted third parties to deliver core services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit GDPR compliance indicators poses privacy compliance risks. Incident response is managed through a partner abuse team, but no dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanism is published. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a domain registry front-end but would benefit from enhanced security controls and privacy transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit GDPR compliance information to improve privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide direct company contact information such as phone numbers or verified emails to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and standard technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Underscore.js, and Bootstrap grid for responsive design. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. Hosting is inferred to be with CentralNic, a reputable domain registry provider. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks include lack of security headers and absence of cookie consent mechanisms which could impact compliance and security posture.
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.
