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

100 Layer Cake is a niche media company specializing in wedding and party inspiration, vendor matchmaking, and affiliate marketing. The website offers curated content, personalized event professional matching, and product recommendations targeting engaged couples and event planners. The platform has a consistent brand presence and a moderate-sized audience with a focus on weddings and related events. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple advertising and analytics services. It employs HTTPS and a consent management platform to address privacy compliance, though explicit privacy and terms policies are not clearly found in the provided content. Security posture is generally good with no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but additional security headers and formal policies would enhance trust. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy, though the website content and social media presence support its authenticity. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved transparency and security documentation.

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. 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 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';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the media sector focused on weddings and parties, monetizing through advertising, affiliate marketing, and vendor services. It targets engaged couples and event professionals, offering inspiration and matchmaking services. The business model leverages content marketing and partnerships with vendors and affiliate programs. The site shows signs of maturity with a consistent brand and active social media channels. Growth opportunities include expanding vendor services and enhancing user engagement. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further investigation to confirm domain ownership and registration details.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates a consent management platform, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are best practices for mature web properties. The use of multiple third-party scripts and ad networks introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and advertising integrations to mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Font Awesome. It uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and integrates multiple ad networks such as AdThrive and Amazon Ads. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The presence of a consent management platform indicates GDPR compliance efforts. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
