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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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 occupies a niche market position focusing on AI tool promotion through directory submissions, offering a competitive advantage by curating a comprehensive and tested list of directories. Revenue streams include subscription services and one-time payments, with additional affiliate marketing partnerships. The target customer segment includes AI startups, indie developers, and SaaS companies looking to enhance SEO and traffic. The platform benefits from strategic partnerships with other AI tool directories and marketing services, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include a growing user base, social media following, and positive customer testimonials. The company maintains a lean operational model with a focus on digital marketing and community engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Add clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with detailed data retention and processing policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. It uses CSS for styling and integrates analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity and Google Tag Manager for performance and user behavior tracking. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices, providing excellent accessibility and SEO features including comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the presence of shipfa.st branding suggests a specialized hosting or build service. The technical implementation is robust with no critical technical debt or performance bottlenecks detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security documentation and incident response readiness.
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.
