Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

70/100

Risk levelMedium

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

hostNET Medien GmbH is a well-established German hosting provider founded in 1994, offering a broad range of hosting solutions including managed-root cloud servers, baremetal cloud servers, reseller servers, dedicated servers, domain registration, SSL certificates, and backup services. The company targets businesses and individuals requiring reliable and professional hosting services, positioning itself as a trusted original hosting provider in Germany with memberships in key internet registries and councils. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, clear navigation, and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses a combination of Contao CMS, Bootstrap, and various JavaScript libraries, though some components like jQuery are outdated, suggesting room for modernization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the domain registration details align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

hostNET operates in the competitive hosting market with a focus on managed and cloud server solutions, leveraging its long-standing presence since 1994 to build credibility. Its business model centers on providing scalable hosting infrastructure and domain services, supported by extended support and backup products. The company maintains a partner program and active social media channels, indicating engagement with reseller and affiliate ecosystems. The website content and structure suggest a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and clear business information. The lack of disclosed certifications or security policies may be an area for strategic improvement to enhance market trust further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and limited security headers reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of an outdated jQuery version could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not mitigated. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The security score reflects a mature but improvable posture, with recommendations to publish formal policies, enhance headers, and update libraries to strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and security certifications to boost trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao Open Source CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and uses several JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.9.1, Highslide, and Bootstrap-select. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, likely due to legacy scripts and multiple modal dialogs. SEO is basic with meta descriptions and viewport settings but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not explicitly stated, but custom name servers indicate dedicated infrastructure. Technical risks include outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce potential attack vectors and improve compliance.
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.
