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

4 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

IPCola operates in the proxy service market with a subscription and pay-as-you-go business model. Their competitive advantages include a large IP pool, global coverage, and compliance certifications. The company targets a broad range of industries requiring web data access, including social media marketing, AdTech, SEO, and finance. Partnerships with browser and proxy management platforms enhance their ecosystem. The presence of customer testimonials and certifications supports credibility. The lack of explicit phone contact suggests a digital-first customer engagement approach. Growth indicators include a large IP count and 24/7 technical support. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining compliance and expanding partner integrations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple certifications such as ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance. Security best practices include cookie consent and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published incident response or abuse contact page represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the content. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified given the proxy service nature. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file and an explicit incident response contact page to improve transparency and incident handling.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Consider providing a verified company phone contact to enhance customer trust and support accessibility.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Tailwind CSS for styling, Tiny Slider for carousels, Feather Icons for UI elements, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The presence of a custom dashboard platform indicates a mature backend infrastructure. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. Accessibility and SEO are addressed with proper meta tags and navigation clarity. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built solution. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the SSL configuration is excellent. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and incident response mechanisms.
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.
