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

A Paper Book (apaperbook.com) is a niche publishing project focused on cataloging artistic paintings on red-brown steel freight wagons. The website presents a single product with descriptive content and a link to an external shop. The business operates in a specialized art publishing market with a small scale and limited digital footprint. Technically, the site is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, hosted on a provider associated with the registrar NameWeb BVBA. The site lacks advanced CMS or frameworks and shows basic mobile optimization and SEO. Security posture is minimal with no detected security headers or privacy policies, and no forms or data collection mechanisms are present. The domain is well-registered and consistent with the business timeline, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional but lacks comprehensive compliance and security features.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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 art enthusiasts and collectors interested in a unique catalog of paintings on freight wagons. The model is direct publishing and sales through an external shop. The company benefits from support by the Mondriaan Fund and holds an ISBN, enhancing credibility. Market positioning is niche with limited competition. The website does not reveal revenue streams or partnerships beyond the shop link. Growth indicators are minimal due to static content and lack of interactive features. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the site. Strategic observations suggest potential to expand digital presence and improve compliance to build trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low to moderate security maturity level. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. No HTTPS enforcement details are provided, which is critical for secure communications. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The site does not collect user data, reducing exposure but also limiting engagement. Overall, the security culture appears minimal, with room for significant improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC and implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Implement HTTPS enforcement if not already done to secure user connections.
  4. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels for transparency and security readiness.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. Hosting is provided by a Dutch hosting provider associated with the registrar. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. The site has no forms or dynamic content, reducing complexity but also limiting functionality. Technical debt appears low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, compliance, and user experience.
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.
