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

4 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';…

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Yourdot.net positions itself as a key resource for .net domain information, leveraging VeriSign's brand authority. Its business model focuses on education and promotion of .net domains rather than direct sales, supporting domain registrars and users. The site’s content and social media presence indicate a focus on small to medium businesses and entrepreneurs. The partnership ecosystem includes VeriSign and related domain services. Growth indicators include rich multimedia content and comprehensive guides. The site’s strategic value lies in reinforcing the .net brand and supporting domain adoption.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of script integrity attributes, and a robust cookie consent framework via OneTrust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy are not clearly visible in the provided data, which could enhance protection against clickjacking and XSS attacks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is common for informational sites but could be improved for transparency. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene suitable for its informational role.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to facilitate user support and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern static site generator (Hugo) with Tailwind CSS for styling, ensuring fast load times and responsive design. It integrates multimedia content through Brightcove and uses OneTrust for privacy compliance. The presence of script integrity attributes and deferred loading indicates attention to performance and security. Hosting appears to be managed by VeriSign or associated providers, ensuring reliable uptime and security. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Opportunities exist to further modernize security headers and enhance transparency around security policies.
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.
