The company offers a range of services including domain registration, web hosting, VPS, and colocation, positioning itself as the largest registrar in the Netherlands. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and relevant content tailored to individuals and businesses seeking hosting solutions. Technically, the site employs modern web standards, uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, and integrates cookie consent mechanisms via Iubenda, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with appropriate security headers and no evident vulnerabilities, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

  3. DNS health

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

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142
      • RFC 4033
      • RFC 4035
    • Medium

      Domain Transfer Lock Not Enabled

      Domain can be transferred without authorization

      What to do: Enable domain transfer lock for security

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

TransIP holds a strong market position as the largest domain registrar in the Netherlands, leveraging a business model focused on domain registration and hosting services. Its competitive advantage lies in a large customer base, expert support, and affordable hosting plans starting at €1 per month. The company targets both individual users and businesses, offering scalable VPS and colocation services. Revenue streams likely include domain sales, hosting subscriptions, and value-added services. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and cookie compliance services like Iubenda. Growth indicators include a professional online presence and extensive service offerings. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation focused on the Dutch market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for responsible vulnerability management. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and transparency.
  5. Enhance trust by showcasing certifications or compliance attestations if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with fonts served via CDN and cookie compliance managed by Iubenda. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with preloading of key images and efficient CSS usage. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting appears to be managed by TransIP itself or via their infrastructure. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and structured data. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of explicit security documentation and incident response mechanisms could pose operational risks in case of security events.
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.
