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

sth.nz is a specialized tool provided by Sitetech Solutions Ltd T/A SiteName to facilitate domain testing for projects without dedicated domains. The service allows users to access websites via IP-based subdomains under sth.nz, targeting developers and SiteHost customers. The website is simple and functional, providing clear instructions but lacks comprehensive business and compliance information. Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Google Analytics for tracking. However, it lacks modern security headers, HTTPS enforcement details, and privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. The WHOIS data confirms a legitimate and consistent registration with a New Zealand-based registrar, supporting the site's credibility. Overall, the site is safe and serves a niche technical purpose but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and professionalism.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

The business operates in the technology sector, focusing on providing domain testing tools and hosting services primarily for local New Zealand customers. Its market position is niche, serving developers and customers of SiteHost. The business model revolves around offering value-added services to hosting customers, enabling easier testing environments. The company is small-sized, founded in 2015, and does not publicly disclose extensive contact or compliance information on this site. The partnership with SiteHost is evident and central to its operations. Growth potential exists through enhanced service offerings and improved digital presence.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with no visible HTTPS enforcement or security headers, which are essential for protecting users and data integrity. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, which may pose privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in policy publication, technical controls, and compliance adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTPS with proper SSL/TLS certificates and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance measures.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support and incident response channels.
  5. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including Google Analytics for tracking. It lacks modern web frameworks or CMS platforms, indicating a lightweight and simple infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization or accessibility features detected. SEO is minimal with meta tags present but no Open Graph or structured data. The hosting provider is SiteHost, consistent with the business branding. Technical debt appears low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, privacy, and user experience.
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.
