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

InMotion Hosting is a well-established web hosting provider specializing in Linux servers, VPS, dedicated servers, domain registration, email, and WordPress hosting solutions. The company positions itself as a premier hosting provider offering 24/7 support and a money-back guarantee, targeting businesses and individuals seeking reliable hosting services. The website content reflects a professional and business-oriented approach with clear branding and service offerings. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS and utilizes modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Optimizely for analytics and marketing optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with good design quality and user experience, although some SEO and accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, consistent with a content-rich hosting provider site. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and privacy and cookie policies are not found in the provided content, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. The WHOIS data is unavailable or not found, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency but does not necessarily indicate illegitimacy given the professional website presence. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with moderate security posture. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, providing clear contact and incident response information, and improving SEO and accessibility compliance to strengthen 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

3 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 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 industry, offering a broad range of hosting services including shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, and domain registration. The company targets small to large businesses and individual customers needing reliable hosting solutions. Its business model is service-oriented with revenue streams from hosting subscriptions and domain services. The presence of 24/7 support and money-back guarantees are competitive advantages enhancing customer trust. The company leverages partnerships with analytics and marketing platforms to optimize customer acquisition and retention. The lack of visible WHOIS data is unusual but may be due to privacy protection or data unavailability. The company maintains a consistent brand image and professional online presence, indicating mature market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests potential vulnerabilities to common web attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and incident response contact information indicates gaps in compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data absence limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, which is a risk factor. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting security best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incident response, including dedicated security and abuse email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and user experience.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and structured data to increase search engine visibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and Optimizely. The infrastructure appears to be self-hosted by InMotion Hosting on Linux servers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern CSS and font loading techniques. Performance is moderate, with some opportunities for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The absence of detected security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical stack is standard for a hosting provider but requires enhancements in security and compliance implementations.
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.
