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. 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. 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 Media OÜ holds a solid market position in the European domain and hosting sector, leveraging long-standing industry experience and partnerships with major data center providers like Equinix and Telia. Their business model combines domain registration with hosting and cloud services, targeting SMEs and professionals seeking reliable online presence solutions. The company emphasizes customer trust through transparent policies, money-back guarantees, and active customer support channels. Their affiliate and partner programs indicate a strategic approach to ecosystem growth. The extensive domain portfolio and pricing transparency support diverse customer needs. The company’s digital presence is consistent with its brand and operational claims, reflecting a mature and stable business.

Security posture

The website employs strong security measures including TLS 1.3 and 1.2 protocols, valid SSL certificates, and email authentication via SPF and DMARC with a reject policy. No critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or Logjam were detected. However, the absence of HSTS and DNSSEC reduces the overall security hardening. The site uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No explicit security policy or incident response information was found, which could be improved. Domain registration lacks protection locks, posing a minor risk. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced with additional DNS and HTTP security headers and formalized incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checks and reduce latency.
  4. Add domain protection locks (Registrar Lock) to prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, Cookiebot, and Zendesk chat integration. It uses a proprietary platform ZoneOS for hosting services. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 6 seconds and 56 resources loaded. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. The SSL configuration is good with no weak ciphers or known vulnerabilities. However, the site could improve performance by optimizing resource loading and enabling caching headers. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates room for technical security improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
