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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

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 competitive domain and hosting market with a focus on technology services. Their business model revolves around subscription-based services for domain registration, DNS management, email, and web hosting, supplemented by professional digital services such as WordPress development and SEO. The company leverages a strong brand with consistent messaging and trust signals including long domain age and customer support. Partnerships like AxisOfEasy.com indicate an ecosystem approach. The company targets a medium-sized market segment with a focus on quality and reliability, supported by extensive online presence and customer engagement tools.

Security posture

The security maturity of easyDNS is solid, with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap given their DNS specialization. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and could be added to enhance protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust but could benefit from formalized policies and additional header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options headers.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with the Genesis Framework, enhanced by plugins such as Gravity Forms, Smart Slider 3, and Google Analytics integrations. The tech stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting fast load times and mobile responsiveness. SEO is well-implemented with structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. Analytics and marketing tools are used responsibly with privacy considerations. The site is hosted on a reliable infrastructure, though the hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities to improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
