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

Hostry is a Cyprus-based hosting service provider established in 2016, offering a variety of hosting solutions including VPS, dedicated servers, and Minecraft hosting. The company targets online businesses and developers seeking reliable and scalable hosting services. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with positive customer reviews and a solid market position in the hosting industry. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Material Icons, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, it lacks common CMS platforms, suggesting a custom-built solution. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and some best practices like error tracking and CAPTCHA, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, and does not publish security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which is a notable gap given the tracking technologies in use. Overall, the domain registration data is consistent and supports the legitimacy of the business. Strategic improvements in privacy disclosures, security policies, and DNS security would enhance trust and compliance.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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 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

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

Hostry operates as an essential entity in the technology sector, specifically in web hosting services. Its business model revolves around providing robust hosting solutions to a diverse client base, including online businesses and developers. The company leverages a builder platform and offers discounts for Minecraft hosting, indicating targeted service offerings. Market positioning is strengthened by positive user ratings and testimonials. The company maintains active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, supporting marketing and customer engagement efforts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting independent operation. The company’s digital footprint includes multiple external service integrations for analytics and tracking, which support marketing and performance monitoring.

Security posture

Hostry demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The inclusion of RavenJS for error tracking indicates proactive monitoring. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts without clear privacy disclosures may expose the company to compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Enhancing DNS security, implementing security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies are recommended to improve the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  4. Develop and disclose a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts and Material Icons. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Yandex Metrica, indicating a data-driven approach to marketing and performance monitoring. The site is mobile optimized with good design quality and user experience. However, the absence of common CMS platforms and lack of explicit performance metrics suggest potential areas for technical improvement. The domain is registered with Moniker Online Services LLC since 2016, consistent with the business history. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional hosting service but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
