The company operates globally with offices in Germany, Spain, and Switzerland, managing approximately 500,000 domains for over 100,000 customers worldwide. Their market position is strong, supported by ICANN accreditation and over 600 TLD accreditations, making them a trusted provider in the domain registration space. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and relevant content targeted at businesses and individuals interested in European internet presence. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel, with good SEO and privacy compliance practices including GDPR adherence and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC support mentioned, though some security headers could be improved.

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, targeting European and global customers seeking domain registration and related services. Their competitive advantages include extensive TLD accreditations, a broad portfolio of domain extensions, and a strong reputation evidenced by high customer ratings and testimonials. The business model centers on domain registration fees, hosting, SSL certificates, and API-driven automation services. The company’s growth is supported by a diversified customer base across 180 countries and a multi-office presence in Europe. Partnerships with payment providers like PayPal and trust platforms like Trustami enhance credibility. The company’s strategic focus on the European market with .EU domains positions it well within a niche segment. The lack of direct contact emails on the landing page suggests a controlled customer support approach via dedicated support pages.

Security posture

The security posture of the INWX website is generally strong. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, ensuring encrypted communications. The site mentions DNSSEC support, enhancing domain name system security. Forms include input validation and secure submission mechanisms. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected in the provided HTML, representing an area for improvement. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR and data protection regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Incident response contact is available via an abuse page, supporting security incident handling. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing a dedicated security policy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  3. Publish a clear and detailed security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  4. Consider providing direct company contact emails or phone numbers on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

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 Open Graph integration for social media sharing. The site is mobile-optimized with viewport settings and responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and consent-based video embedding to reduce initial load. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. The site uses multiple language alternate links indicating internationalization support. Technical debt appears low, but updating jQuery to a more recent version could improve security and performance. The absence of advanced frameworks suggests a custom or minimalistic approach, which can be beneficial for stability and speed.
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.
