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

Openprovider is a well-established ICANN-accredited domain registrar and reseller platform founded in 2004, offering a comprehensive suite of domain management services including access to over 1,900 TLDs, SSL certificates, and membership plans with transparent pricing. The company targets domain resellers and businesses seeking efficient domain portfolio management. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Google Cloud, and integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and HubSpot Forms. However, the website suffers from a critical security shortfall due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which significantly impacts its security posture. While the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, the lack of cookie consent mechanisms and direct contact information slightly detracts from privacy compliance and user trust. Overall, Openprovider demonstrates strong business credibility and market positioning but must urgently address its SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure user interactions and maintain trust.

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 domain registrar and reseller platform with a membership business model that offers cost-price domain transactions and related services. The company has a medium size and a consistent market presence supported by ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and ICANN accreditation. Its competitive advantages include a large TLD portfolio, transparent pricing, and dedicated account management. The business ecosystem includes partner domains for customer portals and reseller assessments. Growth indicators are positive with a focus on simplifying domain management and expanding reseller capabilities. The company leverages modern web technologies and marketing tools to engage its target audience effectively.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but compromised by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are critical for secure communications. The presence of HSTS is a positive security control, but lack of OCSP stapling, session resumption, and certificate transparency compliance indicates room for improvement. No known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected. The website lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is implied through privacy policies but could be strengthened with visible cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to enhance encryption strength.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Add a visible cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  5. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contacts to improve security culture and user confidence.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. It integrates HubSpot for forms and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. However, the page load time is slow (7.3 seconds) with a large page size (~1.2MB) and many resources (71), suggesting optimization opportunities. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Technical debt is minimal but the invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant risks. Modernization efforts should focus on improving SSL configuration and optimizing performance to enhance user experience and security.
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.
