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

EZProvider Networks Inc. operates the website www.ezp.net, providing web hosting services primarily focused on the Vancouver and Canadian market. Their offerings include shared hosting, VPS hosting, and dedicated server hosting, targeting businesses and individuals seeking reliable and fast Canadian-based hosting solutions. The company positions itself as a local, customer-focused provider emphasizing performance and support. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, Yoast SEO, and Google Analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and performs well with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA; however, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, impacting trust and legitimacy assessments. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security practices and privacy compliance measures.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

EZProvider Networks Inc. operates in the technology sector as a small-sized web hosting provider with a focus on the Canadian market. Their business model revolves around offering tiered hosting plans including shared, VPS, and dedicated servers. The company leverages local data centers in Vancouver to differentiate itself from competitors hosting outside Canada. Revenue streams likely come from monthly hosting subscriptions. The website indicates active customer support channels and a blog for customer engagement. Social media presence on Facebook and Twitter supports marketing efforts. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency, which could affect customer trust. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting moderate market positioning.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, which are positive security practices. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. The site does not display a cookie consent banner despite using Google Analytics, which may be a compliance gap under GDPR or similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy compliance mechanisms, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and customer confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and widely used technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Google Analytics is used for traffic analysis, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam and abuse. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with clear navigation and structured content. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which is unusual and may indicate domain registration or privacy issues. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small hosting provider but requires improvements in security and compliance areas.
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.
