Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

79/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website represents Media Temple, a premium web hosting and cloud hosting service now operated under the GoDaddy brand. It targets developers, web designers, and content creators seeking reliable hosting solutions. The site is professionally designed with modern technologies such as React and includes standard marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager. However, the absence of WHOIS data in the raw output limits domain registration verification. The website lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service pages in the provided content, which impacts privacy compliance scoring. Security posture is moderate due to missing security headers and unclear SSL configuration. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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. 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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

GoDaddy, a large enterprise in the technology sector, operates Media Temple as a premium hosting brand. The business model focuses on providing web and cloud hosting services to a specialized audience of developers and designers. The market position is strong given GoDaddy's global presence and brand recognition. The website content is consistent with GoDaddy's branding and targets a professional audience. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and compliance. The partnership ecosystem includes Media Temple as a subsidiary brand. Strategic observations indicate a focus on premium service offerings within the hosting market segment.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URL), but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided HTML content. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR and other compliance frameworks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided. The absence of WHOIS data limits trust verification. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the content. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices such as CSP headers, security.txt, and clear privacy documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to foster transparency and responsible disclosure.
  5. Verify and ensure WHOIS data is accessible and consistent with website branding to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React 18, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS technologies. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site appears mobile optimized and accessible with good navigation and design quality. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, a major provider. Performance is moderate based on included scripts and assets. There is no detected CMS from the provided content. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and privacy documentation indicates areas for modernization and compliance improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional hosting service but requires enhancements in security and privacy 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.
