The website 'Outdated Browser' hosted under bestvpn.org is a specialized tool aimed at developers and desktop users to detect outdated web browsers and encourage updates for better user experience. The business is operated by Wired Rhino, Inc., a US-based company with a domain registration dating back to 2004, indicating a mature and stable presence. The site provides clear, focused content with good design and navigation, though it lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Modernizr, and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services. Google Analytics is used for user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism is present, which may impact privacy 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
10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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"
This scan found 25 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure
Add-on
Leaked records that mention outdatedbrowser.com, from OffSeq Breach.
No leaked records found
Breach holds no records for outdatedbrowser.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.
Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates in the technology sector, offering a free utility tool that benefits web developers and desktop users by identifying outdated browsers. Its market position is niche but important for web compatibility and security awareness. The company leverages partnerships with bestvpn.org and GitHub for distribution and community engagement. Revenue streams are not explicit on the page, suggesting a non-commercial or indirect monetization model. The target audience is technical users and developers. The company maintains consistent branding and a professional web presence, though it could improve transparency with privacy and contact information.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage implied, no visible sensitive data exposure, and no detected vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and security governance. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business, enhancing trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better policy disclosures and technical controls.
Recommendations
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a traditional web technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery 1.10.1, and Modernizr 2.6.2. It is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services, which provides some level of performance and security benefits. The site loads asynchronously Google Analytics for tracking. The performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. There is no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. The site could benefit from modernization including updated JavaScript libraries, enhanced SEO meta tags, and improved accessibility compliance.
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.
