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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

Zone.ee operates primarily in the technology and telecommunications sectors, focusing on domain and hosting services. Its business model revolves around providing essential internet infrastructure services, including domain registration, shared and cloud hosting, private servers, SSL certificates, and security monitoring. The company targets Estonian businesses and individuals, offering competitive pricing and promotional campaigns to attract new customers. Partnerships with help and status monitoring subdomains indicate a well-integrated service ecosystem. The company maintains a medium size with consistent branding and strong trust signals such as SSL, structured data, and social proof via Trustpilot integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit incident response contacts and a security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Trustpilot is managed appropriately, but continuous monitoring is recommended to mitigate supply chain risks. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies, supporting data protection best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing detailed data retention and processing policies.
  5. Maintain continuous security training and awareness to strengthen organizational security culture.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO Premium plugin, jQuery, and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive and accessible design. Performance optimizations include image preloading and lazy loading, contributing to fast load times. The integration of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot supports marketing and privacy compliance needs. The technical infrastructure appears modern and well-maintained, with no signs of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but the presence of domain-specific subdomains suggests a dedicated hosting environment. Overall, the technical setup supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
