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

Efty B.V. operates a leading global domain name marketplace platform that facilitates buying, selling, and managing domain portfolios. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Efty offers a suite of products including Efty Investor for portfolio management, Efty Pay for secure domain transfers, and Efty Market as a marketplace. The company targets domain investors, buyers, and sellers, positioning itself as a trusted and efficient platform in the domain industry. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and mobile optimization, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and jQuery, uses Cloudflare DNS, and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Simple Analytics, ensuring good performance and SEO. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and CAPTCHA on forms, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy, but lacks a 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

4 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Efty operates in the technology sector focusing on domain name marketplaces and portfolio management SaaS. Its business model combines marketplace commissions and subscription-based services for domain investors. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through integrated tools, expert brokerage services, and secure transaction facilitation. Its target customers include domain investors, brokers, and businesses seeking premium domains. The presence of partnership programs and a dedicated support infrastructure indicates a well-developed ecosystem. Growth indicators include a long domain age and consistent branding. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear product segmentation and educational content, supporting customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

Efty exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, and use of Cloudflare DNS services. The presence of CAPTCHA (Cloudflare Turnstile) on inquiry forms mitigates automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy policy and consent checkbox on forms indicate awareness of data protection requirements, though cookie consent is missing. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a public security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.4.1, jQuery 3.3.1, and Font Awesome 6.4.2, ensuring responsive design and rich UI components. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS security benefits. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built platform which may reduce common CMS vulnerabilities but requires dedicated maintenance.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust with minor opportunities for security header enhancements and cookie consent implementation.
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.
