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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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 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';…

  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

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

Hostex operates in the Lithuanian telecommunications sector as a medium-sized entity under Telia Lietuva, AB. Its business model focuses on providing web hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates, and cloud server solutions primarily to local businesses and individuals. The company leverages Telia's network infrastructure, which is a significant competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for hosting plans and domain registrations. The website content and service offerings indicate a mature market presence with a focus on reliability and security. Partnerships with Telia and integration with Telia Cloud services suggest a strong ecosystem. Growth potential exists in expanding cloud services and enhanced security offerings.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. Key strengths include the use of HTTPS, daily backups, premium antivirus protection, SPF and anti-SPAM email filtering, and dedicated IP addresses for hosting plans. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of security headers reduces defense-in-depth. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie consent and privacy policy presence, but more explicit data protection officer information and incident response details would improve compliance posture. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Optimize website performance through caching and resource minification to improve loading speed.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern front-end stack including jQuery 3.6.4 and Bootstrap for responsive design. The backend uses PHP-FPM, indicating a PHP-based hosting environment. Hosting is provided by Telia Lietuva, a reputable telecommunications provider, ensuring robust network infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with separate CSS for phone and desktop views. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and keywords. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and resource optimization. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
