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

ZoneEdit is a well-established DNS hosting and domain management provider with a history dating back to 2000. The company offers a range of services including managed DNS, dynamic DNS, domain registration, email forwarding, and web hosting. Their website is built on WordPress and employs modern plugins and analytics tools, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, targeting businesses and individuals requiring reliable DNS and domain services. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security policies.

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. 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

  2. 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

    • 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

  3. 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

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

ZoneEdit occupies a niche in the DNS and domain management market, leveraging nearly two decades of experience. Their business model focuses on providing both free and paid DNS services, domain registration consolidation, and email tools, appealing to a broad customer base from individuals to enterprises. The presence of testimonials and a dedicated support forum indicates a customer-centric approach. The company uses common marketing and analytics tools to track user engagement and optimize conversions. However, the absence of detailed WHOIS data and explicit contact information may limit trust for some users. The company appears to maintain a moderate size and operates primarily in the technology sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. Use of security-related plugins such as Wordfence is indicated, enhancing protection against common threats. However, the lack of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts are gaps that could be addressed to improve security maturity. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which are best practices for transparency and responsible vulnerability management. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may be a compliance risk under GDPR and similar regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a suite of popular plugins such as Gravity Forms for form handling, Ultimate Member for user management, and MonsterInsights for analytics integration. The site loads multiple external scripts from trusted domains including Google Analytics and YouTube APIs. Performance is moderate with standard optimization practices evident. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information, and some technical SEO and accessibility enhancements could be made. The site uses a responsive menu plugin and Thrive Headline Optimizer to improve user engagement and navigation.
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.
