Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 1 other check.

Security score

66/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Prometeus is a small, established Italian hosting provider offering a range of cloud, VPS, and web hosting services since 1997. Their market position is that of a niche provider focused on professional and corporate clients, with multiple data center locations in Europe. The website demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with use of standard web technologies and analytics tools. Security posture is adequate but could be improved with better security headers and explicit incident response contacts. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration, enhancing security policies, and improving contact transparency.

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

5 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
    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Prometeus operates in the technology sector, providing cloud infrastructure and hosting services primarily targeting professional and corporate users. Their business model relies on offering scalable cloud solutions, VPS, dedicated servers, and storage services. The company leverages partnerships with brands like iwStack and XenPower to expand offerings. The presence of GDPR and privacy policies indicates compliance awareness. Growth indicators include multiple service lines and data center locations. However, the absence of clear contact information on the main page and missing WHOIS data suggest areas for operational improvement.

Security posture

The website shows basic security hygiene with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of security headers and explicit security or incident response policies limits the security maturity level. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of contact channels for security incidents and no visible certifications or frameworks reduces confidence in incident readiness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but not deeply documented. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and trust.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance documentation and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML/CSS/JavaScript stack with jQuery and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Piwik. CloudStack is used for cloud infrastructure, and virtualization platforms like Virtualizor and SolusVM are mentioned. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site. External resources are loaded mostly over HTTPS, but security headers are missing. The site structure is clear with good navigation. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and accessibility.
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.
