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

6 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 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Hostinger operates in the technology sector, focusing on web hosting and domain services with a business model centered on subscription-based plans and value-added services such as AI-powered tools and cloud solutions. Their target audience ranges from individual users and small businesses to professional agencies. The company maintains a strong global presence with localized websites and multilingual support, reflecting a large enterprise size. Their competitive advantages include affordable pricing, extensive service offerings, and strong customer support available in multiple languages. Hostinger's partnership ecosystem includes integrations with Google Workspace and various payment processors. The company emphasizes customer trust through transparent policies, extensive user reviews, and a robust refund policy, positioning itself as a reliable and customer-centric provider in the hosting market.

Security posture

Hostinger exhibits a mature security posture with essential security headers like SPF and DMARC configured correctly, enforcing strict email policies to prevent spoofing. The SSL certificate is valid and not self-signed, though details on the algorithm are unclear, and HSTS is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for HTTPS security. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a potential area for improvement to prevent DNS spoofing attacks. The absence of subdomain takeover vulnerabilities and the presence of a cookie consent mechanism indicate attention to security and privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies on the website suggests room for enhancing transparency and readiness. Overall, the security score is good, but implementing additional security headers and DNSSEC would elevate their security maturity and compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options to enhance HTTPS security.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Clarify SSL certificate details and consider upgrading to stronger algorithms if applicable.
  4. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security culture.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

Hostinger's technical infrastructure is built on modern web frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, indicating a progressive approach to web development. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Bing Ads reflects a comprehensive digital marketing strategy. Performance metrics indicate a slow page load time (~15 seconds), which could impact user experience and SEO. The website is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. The hosting provider is Hostinger itself, suggesting control over the hosting environment. Technical risks include the absence of DNSSEC and HSTS, and the potential performance bottlenecks due to high resource count and page size. Addressing these issues would improve reliability, security, and user satisfaction.
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.
