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

Acme Themes is a specialized WordPress theme development company offering a portfolio of both free and premium responsive themes. The company targets WordPress users including developers, businesses, bloggers, and educational institutions, positioning itself as a provider of quality, affordable, and easy-to-use themes with strong customer support. The website demonstrates a professional digital presence with good SEO, social media integration, and user engagement features such as live chat and newsletter subscription. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and libraries, optimized for mobile and SEO, and uses HTTPS with reCAPTCHA for secure login forms. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, but no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from improved domain registration transparency and enhanced security headers.

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

6 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
    • 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

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

Acme Themes operates in the technology sector focusing on WordPress theme development and sales. Its business model includes offering free themes to attract users and premium themes for revenue generation, supported by a customer support ecosystem. The company maintains active social media channels and uses marketing tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for user tracking and engagement. The partnership with Acme Information Technology (AcmeIT) suggests a broader ecosystem. The company appears small-sized, founded around 2018, with a niche market position emphasizing quality and support. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for contact via forms, which may impact direct customer engagement. The website content and testimonials indicate a positive reputation among users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA on login forms, indicating a baseline security posture. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and tracking pixels, but includes cookie consent mechanisms aligning with privacy regulations. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable risk factor, reducing trust in domain ownership and increasing potential for abuse. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional headers, explicit policies, and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance customer support accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for vulnerabilities and compliance with privacy standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, and popular plugins such as Easy Digital Downloads and Gutentor. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Google Fonts and FontAwesome for design elements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage for fonts and images. The site integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp. However, the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. The site could benefit from enhanced security configurations and domain registration transparency to reduce operational risks.
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.
