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

7 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 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

  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 operates as a small freelance entity focused on WordPress theme design and development, leveraging a niche market with a strong community presence. The business model includes free theme distribution and freelance client work, primarily for Automattic. The target audience includes WordPress users, developers, and organizations seeking custom themes or freelance design services. The website content and external links indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem, particularly with Automattic. Growth indicators include consistent blog updates and a large user base for themes. The absence of physical addresses or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital and remote business operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents areas for enhancement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be improved to increase transparency and readiness. User data collection is minimal with no visible forms on the homepage, reducing attack surface. Tracking is moderate and managed via reputable services. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details to improve privacy transparency.
  4. Add an incident response or security contact section to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the block editor and enhanced by plugins such as Yoast SEO and Jetpack, indicating a well-maintained and up-to-date technical infrastructure. Hosting on WordPress.com by Automattic ensures reliable performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and fast loading times. The use of Cloudflare DNS provides additional resilience, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The technical implementation is clean with valid HTML and CSS, good SEO metadata, and accessibility considerations. Opportunities exist to further modernize security configurations and enhance privacy compliance.
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.
