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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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 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';…

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

VeriSign, Inc. operates yourdot.com as part of its domain registry services, focusing on the .com top-level domain. The business model centers on domain registration and related services, targeting small to large businesses seeking to establish a credible online presence. The site emphasizes educational content and service promotion, supporting VeriSign's market leadership in domain registry. The absence of direct contact information suggests a focus on self-service and automated domain management. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with OneTrust for privacy compliance and Adobe for analytics. The company's long-standing domain registration since 2003 aligns with its established market position. Growth indicators include multimedia content and comprehensive guides, enhancing user engagement and conversion potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, domain status protections (clientTransferProhibited, serverDeleteProhibited, etc.), and a robust cookie consent framework compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could enhance domain security against DNS spoofing. There is no publicly visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of Adobe Launch and OneTrust indicates adherence to privacy and tracking best practices. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for its business function but could benefit from additional security disclosures and DNSSEC implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving compliance requirements and user expectations.

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.
