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

NTC Hosting is an established web hosting and domain registration provider with over 21 years of experience. The company offers a range of services including domain registration, web hosting, VPS solutions, and a website builder, supported by 24/7/365 technical support. The website reflects a professional business presence targeting individuals and businesses seeking reliable hosting solutions. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as the Foundation framework and jQuery, with integration of Google Tag Manager for analytics. While HTTPS is enabled, the site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which could enhance its security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are not evident, indicating potential compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and trustworthy but would benefit from improved security and privacy disclosures.

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

3 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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. 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

NTC Hosting positions itself as a long-standing player in the domain and hosting market, leveraging its 21-year history as a trust signal. Its business model focuses on providing essential web presence services, including domain registration and hosting, with value-added features like a website builder and continuous support. The target audience includes small to medium businesses and individuals seeking web services. The company appears to operate independently without visible parent or subsidiary relationships. The website content is consistent and professionally presented, supporting its credibility. However, the absence of explicit contact details and compliance policies may limit customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The integration of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager necessitates regular security audits to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and transparency in security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  5. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Foundation framework and jQuery 3.2.1, ensuring responsive design and interactive features. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is served over HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for modern web security. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance appears moderate with standard optimization. Accessibility and SEO are basic to good, with proper meta tags and viewport settings. Technical debt is minimal but could be reduced by updating libraries and enhancing security configurations.
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.
