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 business targets AI tool founders and startups seeking to accelerate growth via SEO and backlink strategies. Its competitive advantage lies in the curated, tested directory list and done-for-you submission service, saving clients significant time and effort. Revenue streams include one-time payments for different submission packages and add-ons like product reviews. The company leverages partnerships with related AI tool directories and marketing platforms to enhance service offerings. Growth indicators include over 1000 users and positive testimonials. The business operates primarily online with a small team, founded in 2023, and focuses on the technology sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are areas for improvement. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces a moderate tracking footprint, necessitating clear privacy disclosures and consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the security risks are low but could be mitigated further with enhanced policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Add a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and minimize tracking to improve user privacy and reduce attack surface.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing company contact information and data protection officer details if applicable.

Payment processing is handled via Stripe, and booking is facilitated through Cal.com. The site loads quickly with optimized assets and preloads critical fonts and images.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-suited for the business model.
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.
