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

Web Hosting Hub is a mid-sized web hosting provider offering a range of hosting services including shared hosting, WordPress hosting, domain registration, and eCommerce solutions. The company targets small businesses and individuals seeking affordable and easy-to-use web hosting solutions. Their website demonstrates a professional design with clear navigation and detailed service offerings, supporting a strong market position in the hosting industry. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools with a robust cookie consent mechanism, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, implements security headers, and includes anti-clickjacking measures, though it lacks a publicly visible security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, but the absence of WHOIS transparency slightly reduces domain trustworthiness.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company operates in the technology sector, specifically in web hosting services, with a business model focused on subscription-based hosting plans and domain services. Their competitive advantage lies in ease of use, affordability, and a broad feature set including cPanel and free SSL certificates. The target customer segment includes small businesses and entrepreneurs. The website indicates a customer base of over 40,000 users, suggesting steady growth and market acceptance. Partnerships with InMotion Hosting and use of affiliate marketing programs enhance their ecosystem. The company maintains consistent branding and professional content, reinforcing credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Anti-clickjacking scripts and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting awareness of security best practices. However, the lack of a published security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The extensive use of third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to high but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness.

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.
