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

hPage Ltd. operates a leading website creation platform offering a free and easy-to-use website builder with over 300 professional templates. The platform targets a broad audience including small and medium businesses, freelancers, photographers, bloggers, and cafes/restaurants. The business model is based on providing freemium services with options for custom domains and professional email addresses. The company claims a strong market position with over 2 million websites created since its founding in 2007. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and FontAwesome, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with no major technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages are present. Privacy compliance is partial with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is missing or unregistered, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from improved security practices, enhanced privacy compliance, and clarification of domain registration status to strengthen trust and credibility.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

hPage Ltd. holds a strong position in the website builder market, focusing on ease of use and a wide template selection to attract diverse users from freelancers to small businesses. The freemium model with premium add-ons like custom domains and email services supports revenue generation. The company leverages customer testimonials and 24/7 support as competitive advantages. The absence of clear contact information and domain registration data may impact customer trust. The social media presence on Twitter and Facebook supports brand engagement. Growth indicators include a large user base and continuous feature updates. No clear partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. HTTPS is used, and no sensitive data leaks are evident. However, the absence of security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency. Privacy compliance is partial; while a GDPR-compliant privacy policy exists, cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or domain registration issues, which impacts overall trust. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible on the site.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Clarify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Owl Carousel for interactive elements, and FontAwesome for icons. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate with no critical issues detected. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses external scripts from trusted sources and avoids deprecated or vulnerable libraries.
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.
