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

iCert is a Korean-based digital security certificate service provider specializing in SSL/TLS certificates, application code signing certificates, and related technical support services. The company operates a well-structured website offering multiple certificate brands such as Symantec, Globalsign, iSafe, and GeoTrust, targeting businesses ranging from small enterprises to large corporations. Their market position is supported by a long domain registration history dating back to 2006 and a clear partnership with INAMES, a recognized registrar and domain service provider in Korea. The website provides comprehensive customer support channels including phone, email, and partner programs, reinforcing its business credibility. From a technical perspective, the website employs a traditional web stack with jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, along with Google Analytics for tracking. While the site is functional and moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, it uses an outdated jQuery version which may pose security risks. The absence of modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be managed by INAMES, consistent with the domain registration data. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage implied, but lacking visible security headers and modern JavaScript libraries. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent banner or explicit GDPR compliance indicators. Business credibility is high due to transparent contact information, long domain age, and clear service offerings. Overall, iCert presents a professional and trustworthy digital certificate service platform with a solid business foundation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and modernization of technical stack would enhance their security posture and user trust.

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

7 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

iCert operates in the digital security certificate market in Korea, leveraging partnerships with major certificate authorities and a reseller model to serve a broad range of business customers. Their competitive advantage lies in offering multiple certificate brands and comprehensive technical support, including installation guides and certificate management tools. Revenue streams likely include certificate sales, reseller commissions, and technical support services. The company targets SMEs, large enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions. Growth indicators include a long-standing domain, active partner programs, and frequent customer notices. The partnership ecosystem includes INAMES and other domain-related services, enhancing their market reach and operational capabilities.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The security culture appears functional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and modern security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner and update privacy practices to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS or framework using legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.8.2 and jQuery UI. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site uses bxSlider for image sliders and jqTransform for form styling. Hosting is likely provided by INAMES, consistent with the domain registration. Performance is moderate with some modern scripts like moment.js and js.cookie included. The site lacks modern frontend frameworks and accessibility features, indicating technical debt and opportunities for modernization. SEO is basic with meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected.
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.
