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

DNS Made Easy is a well-established managed DNS service provider founded in 2001, serving over 30,000 global organizations with a focus on small and medium businesses. The company offers a comprehensive suite of DNS services including failover, global traffic management, analytics, and automation via REST API. Owned by DigiCert, DNS Made Easy positions itself as a leader in DNS uptime and security with a 100% uptime guarantee and SOC 2 certification. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and strong SEO practices. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Marketo, and Qualified. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, advanced firewalls, and real-time monitoring, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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';…

  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 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

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

DNS Made Easy operates in the technology sector, specializing in managed DNS solutions that enhance website performance, security, and uptime. Its business model is subscription-based with tiered pricing plans targeting small to medium enterprises. The company leverages its long-standing market presence and parent company DigiCert's reputation to maintain competitive advantage. Key growth indicators include a large client base, extensive DNS query volume, and continuous innovation in DNS management and security features. The partnership ecosystem includes DigiCert and integrations with various DNS and domain tools. Strategic observations highlight the company's emphasis on reliability, security certifications, and automation capabilities to attract enterprise and SMB customers.

Security posture

The security maturity of DNS Made Easy is high, demonstrated by SOC 2 certification, enforced HTTPS, and advanced security features such as granular access control with SAML/SSO, DDoS mitigation, and real-time traffic analytics. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers represents minor gaps but does not significantly undermine the overall posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Incident response contact information is not publicly disclosed, which could be improved. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policies but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The security culture appears robust, supported by enterprise-grade protections and continuous monitoring.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden web security.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact channels for security issues to improve trust and responsiveness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Marketo Munchkin, and Qualified. The site demonstrates fast performance and good mobile optimization. Structured data in JSON-LD format is well implemented, enhancing SEO and rich snippet potential. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. The technical stack is mature and well maintained, with no visible technical debt or deprecated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enable DNSSEC for domain-level security enhancement.
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.
