Partial score · DNS & email only

75/100

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

The website my.nsone.net is a customer portal branded as IBM NS1 Connect, a technology product focused on DNS and network traffic management. The portal appears to serve enterprise customers and IT professionals, providing access to IBM's DNS management services. The site uses modern web technologies including React, IBM's Carbon Design System, and integrates analytics tools such as Segment and Tealium. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, indicating the domain may be unregistered, private, or an internal subdomain, which reduces trust in domain legitimacy. The site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as contact information, which impacts privacy compliance and business credibility scores. Security best practices such as HTTPS and reCAPTCHA are implemented, but security headers are missing, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found.

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.

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.
  • 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

IBM NS1 Connect operates in the technology sector, providing DNS and traffic management solutions primarily to enterprise clients. The business model is B2B SaaS, leveraging IBM's brand and infrastructure. The portal targets IT professionals managing network performance and DNS routing. The site demonstrates consistent branding and professional design, but lacks public-facing business information such as contact details or policies. The absence of WHOIS data suggests this portal may be intended for authenticated users only, possibly internal or partner use. The analytics and marketing tools indicate moderate user tracking and data collection, typical for enterprise SaaS platforms.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect against bots. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data absence raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the site follows some security best practices but requires improvements in headers, policy transparency, and domain registration clarity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add visible contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  3. Configure and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is complete and publicly accessible to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish security policies to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built as a modern single-page application using React and IBM's Carbon Design System, ensuring a consistent and accessible UI. It loads multiple asynchronous JavaScript bundles and uses third-party analytics and tracking services. The site appears mobile optimized and accessible with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and external font resources. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO metadata and improved security header configuration.
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.
