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

2 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.

    • 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

  2. 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 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

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

DedicatedNOW operates in the technology sector, focusing on managed hosting services with a business model that includes direct hosting and reseller partnerships. Their competitive advantages include a highly redundant network infrastructure, customizable hosting solutions, and a strong support team. Revenue streams likely come from hosting subscriptions and reseller fees. The target customer segments are small to medium businesses and hosting resellers. The company demonstrates growth and stability with a long domain history and consistent branding. Partnerships with control panel providers like cPanel and Sectigo enhance their service offerings. Strategic observations include the importance of maintaining high uptime guarantees and expanding security transparency to further build customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity level of DedicatedNOW is solid, with enforced HTTPS, managed hardware and software firewalls, and integrated web application firewalls. The company offers free SSL certificates and 24/7 monitoring. However, there is no publicly visible security policy or incident response page, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is not explicitly documented. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publicly link a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Add or explicitly confirm presence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Continue to maintain and promote 24/7 support and uptime guarantees as key trust factors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, with Tailwind CSS for styling. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Cloudflare for DNS services. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting provider is not explicitly stated but likely uses a robust infrastructure given the claims of multiple global data centers and redundant networks. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities for modernization include enhancing security headers and DNS security features.
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.
