Risk levelHigh

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

The website racon.co.uk is a domain sales landing page operated by Nameshift.com, a small technology business based in the Netherlands specializing in domain name transfers and escrow services. The business model focuses on providing a safe, fast, and fee-free domain transfer experience for buyers, with the seller paying commissions. The site content is minimal and primarily serves as a transactional interface for domain purchase via Nameshift.com. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as SvelteKit and is hosted by Hosting Concepts B.V., but suffers from poor performance and incomplete content presentation. Security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, alongside malformed DNS CAA records and lack of domain protection locks. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, and no contact emails or phone numbers provided. Overall, the site presents moderate trustworthiness but requires significant improvements in security and privacy to meet professional standards.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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

Nameshift.com operates in the niche domain marketplace sector, leveraging an escrow-based business model that mitigates buyer risk and accelerates domain ownership transfer. The company targets individuals and businesses seeking secure domain acquisitions. Its competitive advantage lies in its free buyer services and fast transfer times. The company is small, with a mature domain age consistent with its founding year of 2018. The partnership ecosystem includes its own domain and CDN services. Revenue streams likely derive from seller commissions. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal site content and lack of marketing or analytics tools. Strategic observations suggest a need for enhanced digital presence and trust signals to expand market reach.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low. Critical vulnerabilities include the lack of HTTPS, invalid SSL certificate, and incomplete DNS security configurations. These issues expose users to potential interception and undermine trust. Compliance gaps exist with GDPR and other privacy regulations due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is not evident, with no security contact channels or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The security culture appears immature, with no certifications or documented policies. Business impact includes reputational risk and potential data exposure during domain transactions. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and DNS configurations is essential.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the site immediately.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Correct DNS CAA records and enable domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized certificate issuance and domain transfers.
  4. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response and transparency.
  5. Enhance website content quality and user experience to better communicate business value and build credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the SvelteKit framework with JavaScript and CSS, served by a Caddy web server and hosted by Hosting Concepts B.V. The site relies heavily on external CDN resources from nameshift.com domains. Performance metrics indicate zero load time and resource counts, suggesting incomplete or placeholder content. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no advanced SEO or analytics integrations detected. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols represents a significant technical risk. The site would benefit from performance optimization, content completion, and improved technical SEO practices to enhance visibility and user engagement.
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.
