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

9 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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

The company holds a unique position as the first LIR in Romania, leveraging its affiliation with ICI București and RIPE NCC membership to maintain trust and authority in the IP address allocation market. Its service offerings are specialized and essential for internet connectivity providers and enterprises with multi-provider internet access. The website reflects a focused business model with limited diversification but strong domain expertise. Partnerships with RoTLD and ICI București reinforce its ecosystem presence. Growth indicators are stable, with a niche market and institutional backing. Revenue streams likely derive from service fees for IP and AS number allocations. The absence of extensive marketing or social media presence suggests a B2B-focused, technical clientele.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with no visible security headers and unknown SSL configuration from the provided data. There is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, indicating gaps in compliance and transparency. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, which may raise privacy concerns under GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts to improve security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and test for vulnerabilities.
  5. Add incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to build trust and facilitate security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap framework, and jQuery library, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site structure is clear with consistent branding and navigation. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and keywords. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. Technical risks include lack of security headers and unknown SSL status, which should be addressed to reduce exposure to common web threats.
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.
