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.

Priority findings

4 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ProxyEmpire operates in the proxy services sector, targeting clients needing fast and reliable IP proxies for scraping and data collection. The business model is subscription-based with scalable proxy access. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers like Cloudflare and Cookiebot for DNS and privacy compliance. Market positioning emphasizes affordability and extensive geographic IP coverage. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital-first customer engagement primarily through contact forms and live chat. The company maintains a consistent brand image and uses trust signals such as Trustpilot integration. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active SEO efforts. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent small-sized enterprise.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes several security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, enhancing protection against common web attacks. The use of Cloudflare DNS adds resilience, though DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security gap. Cookie consent is implemented via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no public security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism is found, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts loaded. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing formal security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Review and enhance Content-Security-Policy headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme, supported by modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and third-party services such as Tawk.to for live chat and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The hosting appears to be on DigitalOcean with Cloudflare DNS management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and absence of advanced security policies. The infrastructure is modern but could benefit from further security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
