Risk levelHigh

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

NetFronts Inc. is a small US-based web hosting provider established since 1996, offering shared, reseller, dedicated, and VPS hosting services along with domain registration and SSL certificates. The company targets small to medium businesses and resellers seeking affordable and scalable hosting solutions. Their market position is supported by a long domain age and claims of hosting over 30,000 domains. Technically, the website uses basic legacy technologies with JavaScript and Hsphere control panel references, and includes Google reCAPTCHA for form security. However, the site lacks modern CMS or frameworks and shows only basic mobile and accessibility optimizations. Security posture is moderate with no DNSSEC, no visible HTTPS enforcement, and absence of security headers, though reCAPTCHA is used to mitigate spam. Privacy compliance is limited with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR indicators. Overall, the site is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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"

    • 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. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

NetFronts operates in the competitive web hosting sector, focusing on cost-effective hosting plans for small businesses and resellers. Their business model includes multiple hosting tiers and domain services, with revenue likely from hosting subscriptions and domain registrations. The company leverages a legacy control panel (Hsphere) and emphasizes 24/7 support and money-back guarantees as trust signals. The partnership with name-serve.net suggests some external service integration. Growth indicators are limited from the site content, but longevity and customer testimonials support credibility. The company does not publicly disclose certifications or advanced security policies, which may impact enterprise customer confidence.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. The use of Google reCAPTCHA is a positive control against automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit HTTPS enforcement reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security contact information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR compliance indicators. These gaps expose the business to potential risks including DNS spoofing, man-in-the-middle attacks, and regulatory non-compliance. The website does not expose sensitive data visibly, which is positive, but overall security practices require improvement to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and enforce HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and implement HSTS headers.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS resolution and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and JavaScript, using legacy hosting control panel references (Hsphere). It includes Google reCAPTCHA scripts for spam prevention. No modern CMS or frameworks are detected. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features and shows only basic mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. The domain is registered with eNom, LLC, a reputable registrar, and the domain age supports business legitimacy. Technical debt is evident in the dated design and lack of modern security and privacy features. Modernization opportunities include adopting a CMS, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing security configurations.
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.
