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

InMotion Hosting is a well-established web hosting provider specializing in Linux-based hosting solutions including shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, domain registration, email, and WordPress hosting. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking reliable and scalable hosting services, supported by 24/7 human customer support. Their market position is strong with a reputation for quality and customer service. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Optimizely for optimization and analytics. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly detailed. The security posture is robust with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. However, the WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but is mitigated by the professional website and business presence. Overall, InMotion Hosting presents a secure, professional, and trustworthy web presence suitable for its business domain. Strategic recommendations include publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response details to further enhance transparency and 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

4 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"

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

InMotion Hosting operates in the competitive web hosting market, leveraging a business model focused on providing a range of hosting services from shared to dedicated servers. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service offerings, 24/7 human support, and strong brand reputation. Revenue streams likely include hosting subscriptions, domain registrations, and managed services. The target customer segments include small to medium businesses, developers, and WordPress users. Growth indicators include active marketing, social media engagement, and continuous website optimization. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with analytics and optimization platforms like Google Tag Manager and Optimizely. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear policies and contact channels, supporting sustained market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, implementation of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and incident response policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The security culture appears focused on customer trust and data protection, but formalizing incident response and disclosure processes would strengthen resilience and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  2. Develop and make available an incident response policy with clear contact channels for security incidents.
  3. Enhance transparency by listing security certifications and compliance frameworks adopted.
  4. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR and other regulatory compliance.
  5. Continue investing in website performance and accessibility improvements to maintain high user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Optimizely for analytics and A/B testing. The presence of Google Tag Manager indicates structured analytics deployment. The site is hosted on Linux servers, likely self-hosted by InMotion Hosting. Performance is optimized with preconnect and preload directives for fonts and scripts. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed through responsive design and semantic HTML. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML content. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for modernization including enhanced security transparency and formalized incident response mechanisms.
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.
