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

AppShot Gallery is a specialized online platform providing a curated collection of mobile app screenshots aimed at helping developers, designers, and indie makers improve their App Store Optimization (ASO) and mobile UI design. The website positions itself as a niche resource for app screenshot inspiration, offering filtering by genre, tone, style, color, and font style, along with a submission feature and a preview tool. The business model revolves around providing inspiration and optimization resources rather than direct sales or services. Technically, the site is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Fonts, and Finsweet attributes for CMS filtering and nesting. It uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for form protection and Plausible Analytics for privacy-friendly user tracking. The site is hosted likely on Webflow's infrastructure, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses captcha to mitigate spam. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publish privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No WHOIS data is available due to malformed WHOIS responses, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but no suspicious patterns are detected. Overall, the site is professionally designed and functional, with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, improving accessibility, and providing vulnerability disclosure information 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

4 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.

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

AppShot Gallery operates in the technology sector as a small-sized niche platform focused on app store optimization and UI design inspiration. Its competitive advantage lies in its curated and filterable gallery of app screenshots, targeting developers, designers, and indie makers. The business model is content-driven, likely monetized indirectly through community engagement and support (e.g., Buy Me a Coffee link). The platform shows growth potential through its submission and preview features and maintains a social media presence on Twitter. Partnerships include links to Apple App Store and Buy Me a Coffee for support. The company appears independent with no parent or subsidiaries identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha to protect forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. There is no evidence of GDPR compliance or data protection officer contact information. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls, formalized privacy and cookie policies, and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to improve its security posture and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack centered around Webflow CMS, utilizing JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Finsweet attributes for dynamic filtering and content loading. It integrates Google Fonts for typography and Plausible Analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking. Hosting is likely provided by Webflow, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and smooth user experience. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO, as well as adding security headers to harden the technical infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with moderate performance.
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.
