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

Nameshift.com operates a domain marketplace service specializing in safe and efficient domain name transfers using an escrow model. The company emphasizes buyer protection by ensuring payment only after successful domain transfer, with no additional fees for buyers. The business is positioned as a niche player in the domain transfer market, targeting individuals and businesses seeking secure domain acquisition. Technically, the website leverages modern frontend technology (SvelteKit) and CDN hosting to deliver a responsive and moderately performant user experience. However, the site lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit contact emails or phone numbers are provided, which may impact user trust and compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but missing explicit security headers and incident response contacts. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business, supporting legitimacy. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance trust and security.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

    • 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

  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 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

Nameshift.com holds a consistent market position as a domain transfer and escrow service, generating revenue primarily from seller commissions. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free services to buyers and a streamlined transfer process. The target audience includes domain buyers globally, with a focus on the Netherlands as indicated by the physical address and VAT registration. The company operates a small-sized business model founded in 2017, with a clear brand identity and consistent messaging. Partnerships appear limited to its own brand domains. Growth potential exists through expanding payment options and improving compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or scripts were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the modern SvelteKit framework, leveraging JavaScript modules and CSS assets served via a CDN. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and preloaded fonts for performance. However, the content is minimal and mostly placeholder animations, indicating a basic content implementation. SEO and accessibility features are basic, with no structured data or Open Graph metadata detected. Hosting appears to be managed by Nameshift's own CDN infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in content richness and SEO optimization. No CMS or third-party analytics tools were detected.
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.
