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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

The business operates in the technology sector, focusing on domain name services and SEO tools. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a free, no-login-required platform with exclusive expired domain data and metrics, attracting a large user base of over 20,000 domain buyers. Revenue likely derives from partnerships with registrars and possibly premium features or affiliate commissions. The company maintains an active social media presence across major platforms, enhancing brand visibility and user engagement. The business model emphasizes ease of use, comprehensive data, and integration with auction and backorder services, positioning it as a market leader in expired domain discovery and acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections (clientDeleteProhibited, clientRenewProhibited, etc.) active at the registrar level. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate awareness of data protection regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content or scripts. The security score is strong but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and adding security.txt for vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Consider providing direct company contact emails or phone numbers for support and security reporting to enhance user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies with embedded video content and modern UI components. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and GoDaddy as the registrar, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for performance with fast loading times. Cookie consent scripts and analytics integrations (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel) are implemented for user tracking and marketing insights. No CMS or specific frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Technical debt appears low, but adding modern security headers and formalizing security policies would enhance the technical maturity.
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.
