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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates in the technology sector, focusing on domain name services. It leverages Verisign's extensive DNS operational expertise to provide a reliable and scalable API service. The business model centers on API offerings to partners and customers such as domain registrars and platforms like Shopify and Wix. The presence of customer testimonials and partnerships indicates a mature ecosystem and strong market acceptance. Revenue streams likely include API usage fees or service agreements, though no direct pricing is visible. The company emphasizes ease of integration, customization, and AI-driven innovation to maintain competitive advantage.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information published, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML or scripts. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy is a gap in transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced disclosure and DNS security.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and integrity.
Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels.
Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
Provide clear contact information for security and privacy inquiries to improve trust and compliance.
Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes
The website is built on a modern React-based stack using Next.js and Material-UI, ensuring responsive design and good performance. The use of Emotion for CSS-in-JS indicates a contemporary styling approach. The site loads multiple JavaScript chunks with integrity hashes, indicating attention to security. Hosting details are not explicit but likely managed by VeriSign or a trusted cloud provider. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is addressed with semantic HTML and ARIA roles. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-maintained.
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.
