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, focusing on managed DNS services for small to medium businesses and enterprises. Their business model is subscription-based, offering scalable DNS solutions with high uptime guarantees and security features. The company leverages its long-standing reputation and parent company DigiCert's brand to maintain market leadership. Their service ecosystem includes integrations with various DNS tools and analytics platforms, enhancing customer value. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital marketing strategy targeting IT professionals and business decision-makers. The absence of direct phone or email contacts suggests a preference for controlled lead generation via forms and demos. The company’s certifications and compliance attest to its commitment to security and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The security posture of DNS Made Easy is robust, with enforced HTTPS, domain status protections, and SOC 2 certification ensuring compliance with industry standards. The site employs advanced DNS security features such as DDoS mitigation, SAML/SSO for user access, and real-time traffic anomaly detection. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation is a notable gap that could expose DNS queries to certain attacks. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be improved to harden the web application against common threats. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could be a limitation for security transparency. Overall, the company demonstrates a mature security culture but can enhance its posture with additional technical controls and public disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS query security and integrity.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security transparency.
  5. Consider providing direct incident response contact channels to enhance trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and responsive design. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Marketo Munchkin, and Qualified, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site loads efficiently with optimized images and scripts, contributing to fast performance. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers suggests minor technical debt in security hardening. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available, but domain registration and DNS configurations indicate professional management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for security and compliance enhancements.
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.
