Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js, integrates with Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for analytics and privacy compliance, and includes a Trustpilot widget to enhance trust. The site is mobile optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, though some accessibility features could be improved.

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 a domain registrar and hosting provider, competing in a mature and competitive technology market. Its business model focuses on providing essential online presence tools including domain management, hosting, and email services, supplemented by partnerships with Wix and Google Workspace. The company likely generates revenue through domain sales, hosting subscriptions, and value-added services such as SSL certificates and security products. The target customer segments include small to medium businesses, entrepreneurs, and individual users. The presence of Trustpilot integration suggests an emphasis on customer trust and reputation management. The lack of explicit company registration or VAT information in the content limits deeper business intelligence insights. However, the broad product offering and technical maturity indicate a well-established operation with potential for growth and partnership expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSRF token fetching, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with privacy regulations. The use of OneTrust for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics indicates awareness of privacy and data protection requirements. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly found in the provided content, suggesting room for improvement. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program reduces transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing clear security policies and implementing comprehensive security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and explicitly confirm security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and readiness.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily Vue.js as indicated by SPA assets and component naming conventions. It uses external CDNs for fonts and scripts, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to improve load times. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more explicit ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence with opportunities for further optimization and modernization.
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.
