What we found

The most common security gaps across 822291 European websites — and the regulations they violate.

33%

Missing Security Headers

Visitors are exposed to clickjacking, XSS, and content injection because critical HTTP headers are missing.

100%

Weak Email Authentication

Emails from these domains can be spoofed — invoices, password resets, anything. No DMARC enforcement.

NIS2 Art. 21 / DORA Art. 9

84%

No DNSSEC

DNS responses are unsigned. Attackers can redirect visitors to fake sites without detection.
