Risk levelLow

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, and WordPress hosting. The company targets business customers and individuals seeking reliable and scalable hosting services. Their website demonstrates a strong market position with professional branding, comprehensive service offerings, and a focus on customer support with 24/7 availability and a money-back guarantee. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Optimizely, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data, reflecting a solid security posture. However, the absence of a publicly available WHOIS record and lack of explicit security policy or incident response information are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-optimized, with minor gaps in transparency around domain registration and security disclosures.

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 technology sector as a large-scale web hosting service provider. Their business model revolves around offering a range of hosting solutions tailored to business needs, including domain registration and email services. The company leverages a strong online presence and social media engagement to reach its target audience. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service portfolio, 24/7 customer support, and money-back guarantees, which enhance customer trust and retention. The company appears to have a stable market position with no evident parent or subsidiary relationships disclosed on the website. Their marketing ecosystem includes analytics and optimization tools to drive growth and improve user experience. Strategic observations suggest a focus on continuous service improvement and customer satisfaction, though enhanced transparency in security and domain registration could further strengthen their market credibility.

Security posture

The security posture of InMotion Hosting's website is robust, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. The site avoids exposing sensitive information in its HTML content and uses secure forms for data collection. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact details, and a vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for maturity in security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR is evidenced by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the analyzed content. To enhance security posture, the company should consider publishing explicit security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to foster trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security incidents.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Obtain and display relevant security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to enhance trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrations with Google Tag Manager and Optimizely for analytics and optimization. The infrastructure is hosted on Linux servers, consistent with the company's service offerings. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and scripts, and the site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. The technical implementation reflects a mature and professional approach, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid technical debt and security risks.
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.
