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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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

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

GARMTECH operates a service-based business model focused on web hosting and cloud services, leveraging a competitive advantage through high-performance NVMe storage and 24/7 support. Their revenue streams likely include subscription fees for hosting plans, VPS, domains, and SSL certificates. The company’s target customers range from small businesses to larger organizations requiring scalable hosting solutions. The presence of an affiliate program and partnerships with support and email domains indicates a growing ecosystem. Their client portfolio includes notable government and educational institutions, enhancing their market credibility. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in infrastructure and customer service as key growth drivers.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and login forms use secure POST methods. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS represents areas for improvement. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder transparency and trust in security incident handling. Data protection practices align with GDPR requirements, supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner. The use of third-party analytics and chat tools introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance appears adequate. Overall, the security posture is sound but would benefit from enhanced DNS security and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen browser security.
  3. Develop and make publicly available a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, supported by CDN delivery via Cloudfront. Performance monitoring is implemented using Pingdom RUM, and user engagement is enhanced with Lucky Orange chat. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Hosting is likely managed internally or through the registrar's infrastructure. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface. Overall, the technical implementation supports a fast, reliable, and user-friendly hosting service platform.
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.
