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

The website creativebuilding.co.uk is a domain sales landing page operated by NVA Online Advertising B.V., a domain expert business founded in 2004 based in the Netherlands. The site offers the domain for sale via the Nameshift.com platform, which provides escrow and domain transfer services to ensure safe and fast transactions. The business model focuses on domain brokerage and facilitating secure domain ownership transfers with no fees for buyers. The target audience includes domain investors and businesses seeking premium domain names. Technically, the site is built using modern web technologies including SvelteKit and JavaScript, with external integrations such as Trustpilot for customer reviews and a tracking script from stats.nameshift.com. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, though accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is minimal but sufficient for its purpose as a sales landing page. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and an escrow service to mitigate transaction risks. However, no explicit security headers or policies are present, and privacy and cookie policies are missing, which reduces compliance posture. The WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, including a domain creation date in the future and registrant information pointing to the registrar rather than the business, which is typical for domains listed for sale but impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional for its domain sales purpose but lacks comprehensive privacy and security policies. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and compliance. The domain's WHOIS inconsistencies should be clarified to improve legitimacy perception.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. DNS health

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

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  3. 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 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';…

  4. 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

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

NVA Online Advertising B.V. operates in the domain brokerage sector, leveraging the Nameshift.com platform to offer domain sales with escrow services. The company positions itself as a domain expert with a history since 2004, targeting domain investors and businesses seeking premium domains. The business model relies on commission from sellers, offering buyers a no-fee, secure purchase experience. The partnership with Nameshift.com enhances market reach and trust through escrow and transfer assistance. The company maintains a moderate market position within the niche domain sales industry, with clear branding and trust signals such as Trustpilot integration and VAT invoicing. Growth opportunities include expanding domain portfolio offerings and improving digital marketing and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and escrow services to protect transactions. However, the absence of security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information indicates gaps in security best practices and compliance readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact channels limits incident response preparedness. GDPR compliance is not clearly addressed, which may pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements in policy transparency, header implementation, and compliance documentation to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and provide security contact information.
  4. Clarify and correct WHOIS domain registration data to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern SvelteKit framework with modular JavaScript and CSS assets loaded from the buy.nameshift.com domain. It uses asynchronous scripts for Trustpilot reviews and analytics tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloaded fonts for performance. Hosting appears to be managed by Nameshift, providing a consistent platform for domain sales. No CMS or legacy technologies detected, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. Performance is fast with minimal blocking resources. However, the absence of security headers and explicit SSL/TLS configuration details suggests room for technical security improvements. The site’s technical debt is low, but modernization opportunities include adding accessibility enhancements and SEO metadata.
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.
