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

ANIMA Magazine is a niche digital media publisher specializing in design and architecture content, offering in-depth articles and visual storytelling for professionals and enthusiasts. The website demonstrates a modern technical infrastructure leveraging Cloudflare CDN and Alpine.js for interactivity, with a focus on performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain registration protections, though improvements are needed in security headers and privacy compliance. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but should enhance privacy transparency and security best practices to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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 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

    • 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

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

ANIMA Magazine operates in the media sector, targeting design and architecture professionals and enthusiasts globally. Its business model includes digital publishing complemented by print distribution via partner sites. The company is relatively new, founded in 2022, and positions itself as a specialized source of design intelligence and cultural insights. The website content and structure indicate a focus on quality editorial content and visual appeal, supporting a premium niche market. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a lean operation relying on contact forms. The use of Plausible Analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach to user data collection.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare for CDN and security. Domain registration includes standard EPP status protections but lacks DNSSEC, which could be enabled for enhanced DNS security. No security headers were detected in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which would improve incident response readiness. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with additional headers, policies, and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact emails and phone numbers for business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including ES modules, Alpine.js for reactive UI components, and CSS for styling. It leverages Cloudflare CDN for hosting and performance optimization. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generator approach. Performance is fast with preloading of critical assets. Accessibility is basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well implemented, with opportunities to enhance security headers 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.
