Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.dcsupplies.co.uk is a parked domain page hosted and managed by IONOS, a well-known web hosting and domain registration provider. The page indicates that the domain is registered but not yet connected to an active website. The content primarily promotes IONOS services such as domain registration, website building, web hosting, and VPS offerings. The site is minimalistic with no custom branding or business-specific content beyond the IONOS template. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules violation error, which limits the ability to verify domain registration details and ownership information. The website is accessible without any WAF or security challenge blocking access.

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

  2. 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

  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 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

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 domain appears to be owned or managed by an entity using IONOS services, but no specific business information or contact details are provided on the site. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on web hosting and domain registration. The lack of custom content or contact information suggests the domain is either newly registered or reserved for future use. The market positioning aligns with IONOS's broad hosting and domain services targeting individuals and businesses seeking online presence solutions. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated beyond the IONOS ecosystem.

Security posture

The website lacks visible security headers and does not provide evidence of HTTPS enforcement in the provided data, though it is likely hosted on IONOS infrastructure which typically supports HTTPS. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerabilities are apparent from the content. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, contact information for incident response, and security best practices reduces the overall security posture. The WHOIS data unavailability also impacts trust and transparency. There is no indication of advanced security frameworks or certifications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS and verify SSL configuration site-wide to ensure secure connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Include security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and add Open Graph tags to enhance search engine visibility and social media sharing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. It is hosted on IONOS infrastructure, as indicated by branding and links. The page is mobile optimized with basic accessibility features but lacks SEO optimization and advanced technical enhancements. Performance is moderate given the minimal content. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, which limits data collection but also reduces privacy concerns. The site is a placeholder with limited technical complexity.
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.
