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

4th Street Long Beach is a community-focused website promoting a unique pocket of Long Beach with nearly 100 independently owned stores offering diverse goods, foods, and experiences. The site serves as a local business directory and event promotion platform, targeting a general audience interested in local culture and commerce. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery, Typekit fonts, and YouTube embeds, with an accessibility widget integrated to enhance usability. While the site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and basic SEO, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, as well as visible contact information, which impacts its compliance and trustworthiness. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but the absence of security headers and WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and transparency measures.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 website positions itself as a local community hub for independent businesses in Long Beach, focusing on retail and event promotion. Its business model revolves around community engagement and supporting local vendors through a directory and event participation. The presence of social media links indicates active outreach, though the lack of detailed business registration or contact information limits full business intelligence. The site likely generates value through local partnerships and vendor participation, with potential growth in community-driven commerce. The absence of WHOIS data suggests either recent domain registration or privacy protection, which should be clarified for trust enhancement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields were found on the homepage, reducing immediate risk of injection attacks, but the lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. The inclusion of an accessibility widget is a positive security and usability indicator. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, as it obscures domain ownership and registration details, impacting trust and incident response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear contact information including company email and phone number to enhance business credibility and support.
  3. Configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its CMS and content delivery network, which provides a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of modern web fonts, jQuery, and YouTube iframe embeds indicates a contemporary tech stack, though reliance on external scripts may introduce performance and security considerations. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, including an accessibility widget. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in SEO and loading speed achievable through optimization of external resources and implementation of caching strategies. The absence of analytics scripts suggests minimal user tracking, aligning with privacy considerations but limiting marketing insights.
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.
