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

Openprovider is a mature wholesale domain registration and reseller platform established in 2002, offering domain names, SSL certificates, and Plesk licenses primarily to resellers, digital agencies, and web hosting providers. The company positions itself as a cost-effective platform with automated services and membership plans tailored to different business sizes. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and hosted on Vercel, indicating a contemporary digital infrastructure. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security flaw that undermines user trust and data protection. Security headers are implemented, but the absence of TLS protocols and other security best practices like DNSSEC and DMARC reduces the overall security posture. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and maturity, though domain protection locks are not enabled. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and technical sophistication but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and protect users.

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

7 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…

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

Openprovider operates in the technology sector as a wholesale domain and SSL reseller platform, targeting resellers, digital agencies, marketing bureaus, and web hosting companies. Its business model revolves around offering domains and related services at cost price through membership plans, enabling customers to manage large domain portfolios efficiently. The company leverages a modern tech stack and maintains consistent branding and content quality. Its market position is strengthened by long domain age and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification mentioned in blog posts, although this certification is not explicitly confirmed on the main site. The company uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, indicating a data-driven approach. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies on the main site may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are fundamental for secure communications. While security headers such as HSTS and X-Content-Type-Options are present, the lack of OCSP stapling, session resumption, DNSSEC, and DMARC records exposes the site to potential DNS and email spoofing attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are found, indicating limited transparency in security incident management. The domain is not protected with transfer locks, which could pose a risk of unauthorized domain transfers. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of email and DNS security to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable outdated or insecure protocols.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and publish DMARC records to improve DNS and email security.
  4. Add explicit privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  5. Enable domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
  6. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  7. Ensure certificate transparency compliance and enable OCSP stapling for better SSL performance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js framework and hosted on Vercel, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. It uses Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for typography and analytics respectively. The site is mobile optimized with good design and navigation clarity. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and SSL/TLS configuration is critically lacking, which impacts security and potentially SEO rankings. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests incomplete compliance with privacy regulations. The technical stack is modern but requires improvements in security configuration and privacy compliance to reduce risks and enhance user trust.
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.
