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

IPCOOL is a technology company specializing in providing global residential proxy IP services, including static and dynamic IPs, targeting enterprises and internet companies requiring proxy solutions for data collection, SEO, marketing, and security. The company positions itself as a leading big data supplier with extensive IP resources and infrastructure supported by Alibaba Cloud hosting. The website is professionally designed with a clear business focus and good user experience. Technically, it uses modern frontend frameworks such as Vue.js and Element UI, hosted on Alibaba Cloud, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ipcool.net, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ipcool.net right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

IPCOOL operates in the technology sector, providing proxy IP services with a business-to-business model. It offers a broad range of services including residential proxies, cloud phones, and servers, catering to data collection, brand protection, and network marketing needs. The company leverages Alibaba Cloud infrastructure and holds several certifications indicating regulatory compliance. The recent domain registration suggests a new or rebranded service. The website lacks social media presence and detailed corporate information, which could be improved to enhance credibility. The company targets medium-sized enterprises and internet companies requiring scalable proxy solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The overall security posture is adequate for a commercial website but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to reduce risk and build trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO by adding ARIA attributes and improving meta tags.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Vue.js and Element UI frameworks, leveraging modern JavaScript ES modules for modularity. Hosting is provided by Alibaba Cloud, a reputable cloud provider, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site shows good mobile optimization and moderate performance. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. No analytics or tracking scripts were identified, suggesting minimal user tracking. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the business needs but could be enhanced with additional security and compliance features.
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.
