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

Dotup ICANN Accreditation Consultancy is a small US-based consultancy specializing in assisting hosting companies, domain registrars, ISPs, and domain resellers to achieve ICANN accreditation. The company positions itself as a niche expert in ICANN accreditation services, offering end-to-end consultancy to help clients become accredited registrars. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, featuring structured data that clearly identifies the business and its contact information. The technical infrastructure leverages Wix's hosting and builder services, with common marketing and analytics tools such as Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager integrated. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some script-based security hardening, but lacks important security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security best practices. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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. 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

The business operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on ICANN accreditation consultancy. Its target market includes hosting providers, domain registrars, ISPs, and domain resellers seeking accreditation. The consultancy model likely generates revenue through service fees for accreditation assistance. The website's clear branding and niche focus provide competitive advantages in a specialized market. The company appears to be a sole proprietorship with no subsidiaries or parent company indicated. The presence of structured data and professional content suggests a stable and credible operation, though growth indicators and partnerships are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes scripts aimed at securing fetch and XMLHttpRequest operations, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No forms were detected, minimizing attack surface from input vulnerabilities. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces moderate tracking but no overt vulnerabilities were identified. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure no vulnerable or outdated libraries are used.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix's hosting and content delivery infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and polyfills to ensure compatibility across browsers. The presence of Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager indicates integration with common marketing and analytics tools. Performance is moderate, typical for Wix-hosted sites, with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO metadata is present but limited. No custom backend or advanced frameworks detected. The technical stack is stable but somewhat limited by the Wix platform's constraints, which may affect scalability and customization.
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.
