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

1 finding 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.

    • 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

Epik targets individuals and businesses seeking domain registration and online presence services, offering bundled solutions that include domain privacy, hosting, email, and business formation. Their business model integrates domain registrar services with value-added business services, creating a one-stop platform. The company shows growth indicators through partnerships (e.g., Registered Agents Inc.), extensive domain offerings, and a focus on customer empowerment. Their competitive advantage lies in transparent pricing, privacy protections, and comprehensive support. The partnership ecosystem includes domain privacy providers and business formation services, enhancing their service breadth. Strategic observations suggest continued expansion in business services and hosting, leveraging their technology stack and customer trust.

Security posture

Epik demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, inclusion of free SSL certificates, and use of Cloudflare Turnstile to mitigate automated threats. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR and privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency. Incident response contacts are available via abuse and support emails. The security culture appears customer-focused with 24/7 support and privacy-first domain services. Compliance gaps include lack of explicit security framework references and formal vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response contacts for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Ensure all cookies use secure and HttpOnly flags to enhance session security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Vue.js enhancements, using modern JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Matomo, Facebook Pixel, and Twitter tags, managed via Google Tag Manager. Performance is optimized with CDN usage (Cloudflare), asynchronous script loading, and responsive design. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with Yoast SEO plugin integration. Technical risks are minimal, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing security monitoring. The infrastructure supports scalability and a good user experience, with opportunities to improve security transparency and formalize incident response processes.
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.
