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

InterNIC is an authoritative informational website operated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) under license from the U.S. Department of Commerce. It provides public information regarding internet domain name registration services, including links to registrar directories, Whois lookup, and complaint resolution resources. The site targets internet users, domain registrants, and registrars seeking official domain registration and compliance information. The business model is focused on providing trusted, official resources rather than commercial services. Technically, the website uses basic HTML and CSS without advanced frameworks or CMS detected. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and accessibility but lacks modern performance enhancements and SEO optimizations. No analytics or advertising technologies are present, indicating a minimalistic and privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. HTTPS status is unknown from the provided data but is assumed given the official nature of the site. No forms or data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface. The WHOIS data is consistent with the official entity, enhancing trustworthiness. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates room for compliance improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy compliance, security best practices, and technical modernization to enhance user experience and regulatory adherence.

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.

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

InterNIC holds a strong market position as the official source for domain registration information, closely linked with ICANN and the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its competitive advantage lies in authoritative content and direct licensing. The business model is informational and regulatory rather than commercial, focusing on transparency and compliance support. The target customers include domain registrants, registrars, and internet users seeking domain-related information. Growth indicators are stable given the foundational role in internet governance. The partnership ecosystem includes ICANN and IANA, reinforcing credibility and operational scope. Strategic observations suggest maintaining authoritative content and expanding compliance transparency could enhance stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with no detected advanced security headers or incident response contacts. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the static content. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented. The security culture appears minimal but adequate for an informational site with no user data collection. Enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts would improve maturity and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify site-wide enforcement.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, without detectable modern frameworks or CMS platforms. It lacks analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies, indicating a privacy-focused approach. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimizations detected. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. The site structure is simple and clear, supporting good navigation clarity. Technical modernization opportunities include adopting responsive design frameworks, adding SEO enhancements, and implementing security best practices such as security headers and HTTPS enforcement. The current technical debt is low but modernization would improve resilience and user experience.
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.
