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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

RETN operates in the telecommunications sector, targeting enterprises and service providers requiring secure, scalable, and low-latency connectivity solutions across Eurasia. Their business model focuses on network infrastructure ownership and service delivery, emphasizing technical excellence, redundancy, and customer-centric solutions. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem and a global footprint with offices and PoPs in key markets. Revenue streams likely include wholesale IP transit, managed network services, cloud connectivity, and cybersecurity offerings. Growth indicators include recent network expansions, new PoPs, and industry recognitions. RETN's strategic focus on resilience, innovation, and customer service positions it competitively in the global telecom market.

Security posture

RETN exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and adherence to recognized standards such as ISO 27001. The website does not expose sensitive data and employs secure forms and cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit incident response contacts and a security.txt file are absent, representing an area for improvement. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the website content or WHOIS data. Overall, RETN maintains strong security practices aligned with industry expectations for a telecommunications provider.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website to enhance transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize potential security risks.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved customer support accessibility.

The tech stack includes SVG graphics for scalable visuals and integration of major analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and multilingual support. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the infrastructure supports high availability and redundancy. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for further enhancement in DNS security and incident response visibility.
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.
