MyDataKnox hosting is a Croatian-based technology company specializing in web hosting, virtual private servers, domain registration, cloud backup, and related IT infrastructure services. Established in 2010, it has grown to become one of the fastest growing hosting providers in Croatia, supported by multiple ISO certifications that demonstrate its commitment to quality, security, and environmental responsibility. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking reliable and scalable hosting solutions, offering 24/7 customer support and free migration services to enhance customer satisfaction. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and structured with clear navigation. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, providing users control over functional, analytics, and marketing cookies. From a security perspective, MyDataKnox demonstrates strong practices including HTTPS enforcement, domain status protections, and adherence to ISO 27001 standards.

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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. 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)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

MyDataKnox operates in the technology sector, focusing on web hosting and cloud services. Its competitive advantages include a broad portfolio of hosting solutions, strong certifications, and a reputation for security and customer support. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue from hosting packages, domain registrations, and cloud backup subscriptions. Target customers range from small businesses to larger enterprises needing dedicated servers or VPS. Growth indicators include ISO certifications and claims of rapid expansion in the Croatian market. The company maintains partnerships with technology providers and uses Google services for marketing and analytics. Strategic observations suggest a focus on quality, compliance, and customer trust as key differentiators.

Security posture

The security maturity of MyDataKnox is high, evidenced by ISO 27001 certification and domain registration protections. The website uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed data were found. However, the absence of a public incident response contact or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Consent Studio is managed with user consent. Overall, the company demonstrates a strong security culture but should enhance incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish an incident response or abuse contact page to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add a security.txt file to standardize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Implement advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy to mitigate XSS risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses a cookie consent platform (Consent Studio) for GDPR compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicit but domain registrar is GoDaddy. The site employs structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence.
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.
