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

AlertifyJS is an open source JavaScript framework designed to provide developers with customizable and visually appealing browser dialogs and notifications. Founded in 2014 by Mohammad Younes, the project targets web developers seeking an extensible and themeable dialog solution. The website serves as the primary distribution and documentation portal, featuring examples, tutorials, and GitHub integration. The business model is based on open source licensing under GPLv3, with no direct commercial offerings evident on the site. Technically, the website leverages a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Semantic UI, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts, with DocPad as the CMS. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO and basic accessibility features. External dependencies include Google Analytics for tracking and Carbon Ads for monetization. Hosting is inferred to be via NameCheap based on WHOIS data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by external resource URLs), but lacks explicit security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, representing moderate security posture. No forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Contact and incident response information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is a well-maintained open source project site with good content quality and technical implementation but has room for improvement in security hardening and privacy compliance. The domain registration is consistent and transparent, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and providing clear contact and incident response channels to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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 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

AlertifyJS occupies a niche in the JavaScript UI component market, focusing on dialogs and notifications. Its competitive advantage lies in extensibility, theming, and RTL support, appealing to developers needing customizable UI elements. The open source GPLv3 license encourages community adoption and contribution. Revenue streams are indirect, likely through donations or sponsorships rather than direct sales. The target customers are web developers and organizations building web applications. Growth indicators include active GitHub presence and social media engagement. Partnerships with rtlcss.com, isResponsive.com, and KeyCDN suggest a supportive ecosystem. The project is small scale, founder-led, and focused on technical excellence rather than commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) are detected, which could expose the site to common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, leaving DNS vulnerable to spoofing. No forms or user input fields reduce risk of injection attacks. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of contact or security channels. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational open source project site but should be improved to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to address GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse email address to improve incident response capabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using DocPad CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Semantic UI, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It uses asynchronous loading for analytics and ads scripts, which helps performance. The site is mobile responsive and well structured with clear navigation. External dependencies are loaded from reputable CDNs. However, no advanced performance optimization techniques like lazy loading or service workers were detected. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security configuration. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with NameCheap, consistent with the domain registrar. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small open source project site but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
