Risk levelLow

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

easyDNS Technologies Inc. is a well-established Canadian company specializing in domain registration, DNS hosting, email hosting, and web hosting services since 1998. The company positions itself as a reliable and professional DNS provider with a broad portfolio of services including Anycast DNS, premium email solutions, and managed WordPress hosting. Their market presence is supported by a consistent brand and a comprehensive service offering targeting businesses and individuals requiring robust domain and hosting solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong SEO and structured data implementation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Genesis Framework, enhanced with modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Smart Slider 3. It employs multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics and Matomo, and integrates security features like reCAPTCHA. The site is mobile optimized, fast loading, and accessible, demonstrating a high level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain status locks to protect domain integrity. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no explicit security policy or incident response information published. The use of reCAPTCHA and secure forms indicates attention to security best practices, but there is room for improvement in publishing vulnerability disclosure and security policies. Overall, the risk profile is low with no detected vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators. The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and enhancing HTTP security headers to further strengthen security posture.

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.

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

easyDNS operates in the technology sector, focusing on domain and DNS services, email, and web hosting. Their business model is service-oriented, providing subscription-based domain registration and hosting solutions. The company targets SMEs, enterprises, and individual professionals needing reliable DNS and hosting infrastructure. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence since 1998, comprehensive service portfolio, and strong customer support. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a professional online presence with active social media channels and trust signals such as customer reviews and certifications. Growth indicators include diversified hosting options and professional digital services like WordPress development and SEO optimization.

Security posture

The security maturity of easyDNS is moderate to high. The website uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and domain status locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers or updates. Security best practices such as reCAPTCHA on forms and privacy-conscious analytics are implemented. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a publicly available security policy or incident response plan indicates gaps in transparency and DNS security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly published, which could be improved to enhance security readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers by explicitly adding Content-Security-Policy and other recommended headers.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Genesis Framework, supported by popular plugins such as Gravity Forms and Smart Slider 3. It integrates multiple analytics tools including Google Analytics and Matomo, and uses Google Tag Manager for event tracking. The site is optimized for performance with preloading of key assets and lazy loading techniques. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed. The domain is registered with easyDNS Technologies Inc. and uses their own DNS servers. The technical stack is mature and well maintained, with opportunities to improve DNS security and HTTP header configurations.
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.
