73/100

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The overall security posture of the website reveals critical vulnerabilities primarily associated with DNS configuration and domain registration, which pose significant risks to availability and trustworthiness. While encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) and email security are robust, critical DNS resolution failures and domain registration issues threaten the site's accessibility and expose it to potential hijacking or downtime. Medium-level concerns around security headers and compliance frameworks such as GDPR and NIS2 indicate gaps in data protection and regulatory adherence. The network security stance appears relatively strong, but the failed network scan suggests incomplete visibility into external exposures. Low-level issues like missing CAA records further reduce defenses against certificate misuse. Immediate remediation of DNS and domain registration problems is essential to maintain business continuity and protect customer trust. Overall, the site requires urgent attention to DNS health and compliance to align with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

NIS2 outside view
Not assessed
GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

    • Critical

      Domain Registration Issue

      Domain appears to be unregistered or expired

      What to do: Check domain registration status and renew if necessary

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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.

Technical notes

Notes

Two critical issues were identified: DNS resolution failures and domain registration problems. DNS resolution failure means users and services cannot reliably resolve the website’s domain to an IP address, causing downtime and loss of accessibility. Domain registration issues may include expired or misconfigured records, risking domain hijacking or suspension. Additionally, DNSSEC is not enabled, exposing the DNS infrastructure to cache poisoning or spoofing attacks. Medium-level findings include missing or incomplete security headers, which leave the website vulnerable to attacks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. The failed GDPR and NIS2 checks indicate non-compliance with important data protection and network security regulations, potentially resulting in fines or reputational damage. The network scan failure suggests incomplete assessment of network vulnerabilities, warranting a thorough follow-up. Low severity absence of CAA records reduces control over certificate issuance, slightly increasing risk of certificate misuse.
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.
