No-IP is a well-established technology company specializing in Dynamic DNS and Managed DNS services, catering to both home and business users globally. The company offers a range of services including free and paid Dynamic DNS, domain registration, SSL certificates, and managed email solutions. With over 35 million customers and more than 25 years in the industry, No-IP holds a strong market position as a trusted DNS provider. Their website reflects a professional and user-friendly design, supporting multiple languages and providing clear navigation for diverse user needs. Technically, No-IP employs a modern web infrastructure leveraging Bootstrap, Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and various analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Bing Ads. The site is optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, ensuring a seamless user experience. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF tokens, and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed. The security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms and GDPR adherence. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable or missing, which raises moderate concerns about domain registration transparency, though the overall legitimacy is supported by the professional web presence and business operations. Overall, No-IP demonstrates a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure, and enhancing transparency around data protection roles to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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
    • 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

  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

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

No-IP operates in the technology sector, focusing on DNS and domain management services. Their business model includes offering free Dynamic DNS accounts to attract users, with upsell opportunities to premium managed DNS, domain registration, and SSL certificates. The company targets a broad audience including individual home users, gamers, small to medium businesses, managed service providers, and enterprises. Their competitive advantage lies in their longevity, large customer base, and comprehensive service offerings. Partnerships with VPN providers and referral programs indicate a strategic ecosystem approach. The website content and marketing emphasize reliability, ease of use, and global reach, supporting growth and customer retention.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of security headers. CSRF tokens and secure form handling are present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response plan limits transparency. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program is evident, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability management. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but no data protection officer contact is provided. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Designate and provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding HSTS and X-Frame-Options if not already present.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Amazon Cloudfront for CDN delivery, and multiple analytics and marketing platforms such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Bing Ads. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices and accessibility features. The use of CSRF tokens and secure form methods indicates attention to security in technical implementation. Hosting on a reputable CDN provider enhances availability and resilience.

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.
