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. 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

  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

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

INWX operates in the technology sector as a domain registrar and internet services provider. Its competitive advantages include extensive TLD accreditations, a broad international customer base, and a strong European market focus. The business model centers on domain registration, hosting, SSL certificates, and API-driven domain management. Revenue streams likely derive from domain sales, renewals, hosting services, and value-added offerings. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking European internet presence, especially those requiring .EU domains. Strategic partnerships with registries and accreditation bodies enhance market position. The company maintains a dynamic and passionate team based in Berlin with offices in Spain and Switzerland, supporting global operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. DNSSEC support is highlighted, enhancing domain security. However, explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not evident, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Incident response contact is available via an abuse page, indicating readiness for security incidents. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting data protection. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but lightweight technology stack including jQuery 2.1.4 and Slick Carousel for UI components. The HTML is well structured with proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and viewport settings. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and minimal heavy frameworks. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious implementation.
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.
