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

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

The company positions itself as a leading provider of domain name suggestion APIs, leveraging VeriSign's extensive DNS operational experience. Its business model focuses on API services for domain registrars and platforms, with a broad customer base including Shopify, Dynadot, and DreamHost. The service offers flexible integration options, including turnkey APIs and web components, targeting developers and businesses aiming to improve domain search and registration conversion rates. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring well-known domain registrars and hosting providers. Growth indicators include AI-powered enhancements and a focus on personalized, optimized domain suggestions.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, domain registration protections, and use of script integrity attributes. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file, which are important for transparency and vulnerability management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable third-party service (OneTrust). Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and adding advanced security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and explicit security policy page with incident response contacts.
  3. Add advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information availability for security and general inquiries to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, styled with Material UI and Emotion CSS-in-JS. It is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading and good SEO practices with proper meta tags and verification tags for Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but is likely managed by VeriSign or a trusted cloud provider. The site shows no technical debt or broken elements, indicating good maintenance and modernization. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and publish additional security documentation.
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.
