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

Wild West Domains is an established ICANN-accredited domain registrar operating since 2000, providing domain registration services with a focus on quality and customer support. The company positions itself as a trusted provider with award-winning customer service and a solid business backbone. The website is professionally designed using GoDaddy Website Builder, featuring clear navigation, mobile optimization, and relevant business content. Technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies and HTTPS with strong domain status protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled. Security posture is good with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but additional HTTP security headers and a published security policy would enhance trust. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner present, but GDPR compliance is not explicitly indicated. Contact information is clearly provided, including abuse reporting channels, supporting incident response readiness. Overall, the website and domain registration data reflect a legitimate and credible business with moderate to high 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 as a domain registrar, targeting internet users and businesses seeking domain registration services. Its business model revolves around domain sales and customer support, leveraging ICANN accreditation as a competitive advantage. The company appears medium-sized with a stable market position and no evident subsidiaries. Partnerships with secureserver.net and domainspricedright.com indicate integration with domain registration and hosting ecosystems. The website content and structure support professional branding and customer engagement, though no social media presence was detected. The company maintains clear contact channels and legal compliance links, supporting transparency and customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and domain status locks preventing unauthorized domain changes. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and additional HTTP security headers represents areas for improvement. Incident response contact is available via abuse email, but no formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure page is published. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent implemented but no explicit GDPR statements. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options
  3. Publish a formal security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance statements and data protection disclosures
  5. Consider adding social media channels and additional customer engagement tools to improve brand presence

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on GoDaddy Website Builder platform using modern web fonts and JavaScript libraries. It employs HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and uses service workers for progressive web app features. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, indicated by nameservers and resource URLs. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but the site could improve by adding more advanced security headers and accessibility enhancements.
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.
