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

TotalVPN is a VPN service provider focused on delivering unrestricted and anonymous browsing primarily for Android users. The company, registered as Danesco Trading Ltd., operates a website promoting their VPN app available on the Google Play Store. The business targets mobile users seeking privacy and security online, offering features such as unlimited speed, safety, and access to international servers. The website content is well structured and professionally presented, with clear calls to action and customer support contact via email. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and SVG icons, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no advanced security headers or DNSSEC are implemented. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR compliance statements. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, with no privacy protection masking registrant details. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms. The AI overall score reflects a good but improvable website with recommendations to enhance security headers, privacy compliance, and DNSSEC implementation.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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 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';…

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

TotalVPN operates in the competitive VPN market, focusing on Android users with a freemium app model distributed via Google Play Store. The company leverages its parent entity Danesco Trading Ltd. and positions itself as a provider of fast, secure, and anonymous internet access. The business model relies on app downloads and likely subscription or in-app purchases. The website content emphasizes customer support and data protection but lacks detailed business disclosures or physical presence information. The partnership ecosystem is minimal with no visible partners or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited due to the new domain age (2021) and small company size. The company could benefit from expanding transparency and compliance disclosures to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS usage is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the security posture. No forms collect sensitive data on the site, reducing exposure risk. The privacy policy exists but lacks GDPR compliance indicators and cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not found, indicating gaps in security governance. The domain registration is transparent and consistent, which supports trust. Recommendations include implementing DNSSEC, adding security headers, enhancing privacy compliance, and establishing incident response contacts to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism and update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and user data rights.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and SVG for icons. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is optimized for mobile users, consistent with its focus on Android VPN app users. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading or errors. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Hosting provider details are not available from the data. Technical debt appears low but security-related technical improvements are needed. The site lacks advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries, indicating a simple but functional technical infrastructure.
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.
