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

Yourdot.net targets businesses and individuals seeking to register or learn about .net domain names, positioning itself as a trusted resource backed by VeriSign. The business model focuses on domain registry promotion and education rather than direct sales. The site supports VeriSign's broader ecosystem by driving awareness and adoption of .net domains. Its partnership ecosystem includes social media channels and links to VeriSign's corporate resources. The content and navigation are designed to facilitate user engagement and conversion through domain search and educational materials. Growth indicators include active video content and updated resources. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance direct contact channels and publish explicit security policies to further build trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of reputable third-party scripts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly visible and should be verified or implemented. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended best practices. The site does not expose any critical security issues and maintains a good balance between user privacy and tracking for analytics and marketing purposes.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the yourdot.net domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance direct contact information availability to improve user trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Hugo static site generator, ensuring fast load times and scalability. Styling is managed with Tailwind CSS, and video content is delivered via Brightcove. Cookie consent and privacy management are handled by OneTrust, integrated with Adobe DTM for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. External resources are loaded from trusted domains, and no deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The domain is registered with CSC Corporate Domains, Inc., a reputable registrar, and uses Verisign name servers. Performance is fast, and SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and explicitly document security headers and 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.
