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

Anders Norén is a freelance designer and developer specializing in WordPress themes and digital design, operating primarily from Sweden. The website serves as a professional portfolio and blog, showcasing his work, experience, and latest posts. The business model focuses on freelance services and the creation of free WordPress themes, with a niche market position supported by a strong online presence and community recognition. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern block themes, optimized for performance, SEO, and accessibility, hosted on WordPress.com with Cloudflare DNS. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though improvements can be made by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is lacking due to missing privacy and cookie policies.

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 website targets WordPress users, developers, and clients seeking freelance design and development services. Anders Norén leverages his reputation in the WordPress community, having contributed to popular themes and working with Automattic. The business operates as a small freelance entity with a focus on quality and community engagement rather than large-scale commercial operations. Partnerships with Automattic and hosting on WordPress.com enhance credibility. The site content and blog indicate active engagement and thought leadership in the WordPress ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include freelance contracts and possibly donations or sponsorships related to free themes. The presence of affiliate links and social media channels supports marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, though DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security gap. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No forms on the homepage collect sensitive data, reducing attack surface. Jetpack and WordPress.com analytics are used for tracking, with moderate user tracking levels. No incident response or security policies are published, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers, DNSSEC, and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy or incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress block theme with extensive use of CSS custom properties and ES6 JavaScript modules, indicating up-to-date front-end technology. Hosting on WordPress.com ensures reliable infrastructure and performance. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with good accessibility features. SEO is well implemented using Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD). The use of Jetpack plugins provides analytics and search capabilities. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical implementation is robust with minor opportunities for security hardening and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
