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

Web & Creativity is a small Canadian-based service provider specializing in domain registration, hosting, SSL certificates, and email services. Established in 2008, the company offers a niche service including trustee contact services, domain parking, DNS specification, and domain forwarding. The website targets a broad audience interested in domain and hosting services, primarily within Canada and Europe. The business model focuses on providing domain-related services without setup fees, positioning itself as a quality but modest regional player in the domain services market. Technically, the website uses basic web technologies including HTML, CSS, and an outdated version of jQuery (1.6.1). There is no evidence of a modern CMS or advanced frameworks. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, and performance is moderate. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are limited to the registrar, Namespro Solutions Inc., with no explicit hosting provider identified. From a security perspective, the domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status but lacks DNSSEC and visible HTTPS enforcement in the HTML content. No security headers are detected, and the use of outdated JavaScript libraries presents potential vulnerabilities. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, and no certifications or vulnerability disclosure policies are found. Overall, the website is functional but basic, with moderate trustworthiness supported by a long domain age and consistent business description. However, the lack of HTTPS enforcement, privacy policies, and modern security practices lowers the security posture and privacy compliance scores. Strategic improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance trust and protect customer data.

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.

    • 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

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

Web & Creativity operates in the technology sector, focusing on domain registration and related services. Its competitive advantage lies in offering trustee contact services and domain parking without setup fees, targeting customers in Canada and Europe. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue from domain registrations, hosting, SSL certificates, and email services. The company appears to be small-sized with no public parent or subsidiary companies. The website content is basic but relevant, indicating a modest but stable market presence. The absence of social media and advanced marketing tools suggests limited digital marketing efforts. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website, and no related domains or partner sites are identified. Growth indicators are unclear due to limited public information.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of Web & Creativity is low to moderate. The domain is registered since 2008 with clientTransferProhibited status, which is a positive trust indicator. However, the absence of DNSSEC, HTTPS enforcement, and security headers exposes the site to potential risks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.6.1) increases vulnerability to known exploits. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated, with no security or abuse contact channels provided. Data protection practices appear minimal, and no certifications or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are in place. Overall, the security culture seems basic, with significant room for improvement to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTPS site-wide with valid SSL certificates and implement HSTS to enforce secure connections.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Update all JavaScript libraries and dependencies to current secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Establish clear incident response and abuse contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 1.6.1, which is outdated and potentially insecure. There is no evidence of a modern CMS or advanced frameworks. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, which may affect user experience on mobile devices and for users with disabilities. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting details are limited to the registrar, with no explicit hosting provider identified. Performance is moderate, with no advanced optimization techniques observed. The site uses a frame busting script to prevent framing attacks, which is a positive security measure. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, with opportunities for modernization and security enhancement.
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.
