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

EURid is the official registry manager for the .eu, .ею, and .ευ domain names, serving as a critical infrastructure provider for European internet domains. The organization operates with a strong emphasis on security, compliance, and service excellence, positioning itself as a trusted authority in the domain registry market. Their key services include domain registration, management, WHOIS lookup, and support for registrars and end-users across Europe. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multi-language support and comprehensive content tailored to businesses and individuals seeking .eu domains. Technically, EURid employs modern web technologies such as Next.js and React, supported by robust security headers and SSL configurations, although there is room for improvement in enabling modern TLS protocols and DNS security extensions. Their security posture is strong, with certifications like ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, and a responsible disclosure policy, but they could enhance transparency by implementing a security.txt file and enabling DNSSEC. Overall, EURid demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance, making it a reliable partner in the European digital ecosystem.

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.

Business context

Business profile

EURid holds a strategic position as the exclusive registry for .eu domains, serving a broad European audience including businesses, registrars, and individuals. Their business model revolves around domain registration and management services, supported by a network of registrars. The company benefits from strong trust signals such as ISO certifications and GDPR compliance, which enhance its competitive advantage. EURid's partnership ecosystem includes email protection services and marketing tools like Sendinblue and Zendesk, indicating a well-integrated operational environment. The organization's growth is supported by active engagement in events and community initiatives, as well as a clear focus on digital inclusion and sustainability. EURid's market presence is reinforced by a multilingual website and extensive legal and policy documentation, catering to diverse European markets.

Security posture

EURid exhibits a mature security posture with multiple layers of protection including strict transport security, content security policies, and XSS and content-type protections. Their SSL certificate is valid and issued by a reputable CA, with no detected vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE. The organization maintains ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 certifications, underscoring their commitment to information security and business continuity. Incident response mechanisms are formalized through a responsible disclosure policy, although no explicit security.txt file was found. DNSSEC and CAA records are currently not enabled, representing potential areas for enhancing domain security. The website's use of Matomo analytics and Cookiebot for consent management reflects a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, EURid's security practices align well with industry standards, though enabling modern TLS versions and DNS security extensions would further strengthen their defense.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to improve encryption standards and compatibility.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain integrity.
  3. Add CAA DNS records to control certificate issuance and prevent unauthorized certificates.
  4. Submit the domain to the HSTS preload list to enforce HTTPS across all browsers.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Next.js and React, delivering fast performance and good mobile optimization. The use of Nginx as a web server and Matomo for analytics indicates a focus on control and privacy. Cookiebot integration ensures compliance with cookie consent regulations. The site supports 24 languages, enhancing accessibility and SEO. However, the absence of DNSSEC and CAA records suggests some technical debt in DNS security. The SSL configuration is good but lacks support for modern TLS versions, which could impact security and user trust. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-maintained, with opportunities for modernization in security protocols and DNS 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.
