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

The website offshore-iom.com is a parked domain registered by Heart Internet, a UK-based web hosting provider. The site content primarily promotes Heart Internet's hosting services including web hosting, reseller hosting, domain registration, and dedicated servers. The target audience appears to be individuals and businesses seeking hosting and domain services. The website is basic in design and content, serving as a holding page with advertisements and links to Heart Internet's main services. Technically, the site uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Google AdSense for advertising. The hosting provider is Heart Internet itself. The site lacks HTTPS in the provided content, uses HTTP URLs, and does not implement modern security headers or privacy policies. Performance and mobile optimization are basic, with limited accessibility features. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and security headers is a significant weakness. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is provided. The site does not expose sensitive data but lacks best practices for security and privacy compliance. Overall, the site is a basic parked domain page with minimal content and limited security and privacy measures. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding privacy and cookie policies, providing contact information, and enhancing security headers to improve 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Heart Internet operates as a web hosting and domain registration provider targeting UK customers and resellers. Their business model includes offering unlimited web hosting, reseller hosting with white-label control panels, domain registration, and dedicated servers. The company positions itself as a competitive UK hosting provider with a range of hosting solutions. Revenue streams likely include hosting subscriptions and domain sales. The website content suggests a focus on reseller and small to medium business customers. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but the use of Google AdSense indicates monetization through advertising. The site is a parked domain page, indicating this domain is not actively used for direct business operations but is managed by Heart Internet.

Security posture

The current security posture is low due to the lack of HTTPS and absence of security headers. No evidence of vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security policies is found. The site uses forms with GET methods and no visible input validation or protection mechanisms. Privacy compliance is poor with no GDPR indicators or cookie consent mechanisms. The lack of contact information and security policies reduces incident response readiness and trust. No malware or phishing indicators are detected. Overall, the security maturity is minimal and requires significant improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all site traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and incident response channels.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Use POST method for forms collecting user input and implement input validation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and integrates Google AdSense for advertising. The hosting provider is Heart Internet, consistent with the branding and domain registration. The site lacks modern CMS or frameworks and shows no evidence of advanced technical infrastructure. Performance is moderate with some ads potentially impacting load times. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no advanced features detected. The site uses HTTP URLs, indicating no SSL/TLS encryption in the provided content. Technical debt is evident in the lack of security and privacy features. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing accessibility and SEO.
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.
