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

5 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 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 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

    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

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

Business profile

Metaregistrar holds a strong market position as a specialized registrar for large domain portfolios, leveraging ICANN accreditation and ISO 27001 certification to build trust. Their business model focuses on providing automated and whitelabel domain management services primarily to digital agencies, resellers, brands, and government organizations. The company emphasizes API integration, enabling clients to automate domain and hosting management tasks. Testimonials and partnerships, such as with Dan.com, reinforce their credibility. The company targets medium-sized enterprises and government sectors, operating primarily in the Netherlands. Growth indicators include a large managed domain portfolio and comprehensive service offerings. Strategic partnerships and a focus on compliance and security position Metaregistrar well in the domain registrar market.

Security posture

Metaregistrar demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced across the site and ISO 27001 certification indicating a formal information security management system. The use of a WordPress security hardening plugin adds an additional layer of protection. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published incident response policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness communication. Privacy compliance is partial, with no visible cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder and several premium addons, indicating a modern and flexible technical stack. The use of jQuery, Swiper, and Font Awesome supports interactive and visual elements. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain, suggesting self-hosted resources which can improve performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and breakpoints configured. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation menus. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing asset loading and caching. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA attributes and semantic HTML present but no advanced accessibility enhancements detected. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
