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

DMCA.com is a specialized service provider focused on protecting online content and brands through DMCA takedown services, compliance solutions, and content protection tools. Positioned as a leading DMCA takedown service provider, the company targets website owners, content creators, and brands seeking to enforce copyright and protect intellectual property online. Their offerings include managed takedown services, DIY tools, monitoring, trademark and defamation takedowns, and compliance badges. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand identity with clear navigation and comprehensive service information. Technically, the website is built on an ASP.NET Web Forms framework, utilizing modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and reCAPTCHA v3. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and uses CAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks a publicly visible security policy or vulnerability disclosure program. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and GDPR indicators. Overall, DMCA.com presents a low-risk profile with a strong business credibility and a good security posture. The lack of public WHOIS data is consistent with privacy protection practices common in this industry. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing incident response transparency to further strengthen 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.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

DMCA.com operates in the technology sector, providing essential copyright enforcement and content protection services. Their market positioning as a top DMCA takedown provider is supported by a broad service portfolio and active social media presence. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through managed takedown services, compliance badges, and DIY tools. Target customers include individual content creators, small to medium businesses, and larger brands concerned with online intellectual property protection. The company demonstrates growth potential through diversified offerings and partnerships, although no parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The website content and structured data suggest a medium-sized Canadian company with a professional online presence.

Security posture

The security maturity level of DMCA.com is good, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of reCAPTCHA v3 and cookie consent indicates awareness of bot mitigation and privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap and an opportunity for improvement. The site’s security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature ASP.NET Web Forms platform, leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar supports advanced marketing and user behavior analysis. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though performance is moderate and could be improved with optimization. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary backend. Hosting details are not explicit, but the technology stack implies a Windows Server environment. Technical risks are minimal, but modernization opportunities exist to adopt newer frameworks and improve accessibility 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.
