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 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

  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

    • 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Name.com holds a strong market position as an established domain registrar and hosting provider with a broad product portfolio and global reach. Its business model focuses on domain sales, hosting services, and value-added products like SSL certificates and professional email. The company leverages partnerships with major platforms such as Wix and Google Workspace to enhance its offerings. The target customer segments include small to medium businesses and individual entrepreneurs. The website content and structure indicate a large-scale operation with consistent branding and trust signals such as 24/7 support and integration with reputable services. The absence of detailed company registration or VAT information is noted but does not detract from the overall credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure handling of user inputs including CSRF token usage. Privacy compliance is supported by a detailed privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism managed by OneTrust. Incident response contact is available via an abuse email address, though a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure program is not published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security score is high, reflecting good practices, but improvements could be made by publishing explicit security policies and enhancing incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response contacts beyond abuse email.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js for frontend rendering, supported by Google Tag Manager and Quantum Metric for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site uses OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Performance appears optimized with preloading of fonts and scripts, and the design is responsive and accessible. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience with opportunities to improve documentation and transparency around security and compliance.
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.
