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

The website www.arapplefestival.org is a Japanese language affiliate marketing and informational site focused on hair removal (脱毛) services and clinics in Takasaki, Japan. It provides rankings, descriptions, and affiliate links to local salons and hair removal products. The site targets consumers interested in beauty and hair removal treatments in the Takasaki region. Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a Shift_JIS charset, and includes tracking scripts from Research Artisan Pro and affiliate networks. The site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications and has basic mobile and accessibility features. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS confirmation, lack of security headers, and no visible privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to a malformed query response, limiting domain ownership transparency and reducing trust. Overall, the site is functional but basic, with moderate content quality and low privacy 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

8 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 X-Frame-Options header

      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';…

  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

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 model is affiliate marketing focused on local beauty services in Takasaki, Japan. The site promotes hair removal salons and products through affiliate links, generating revenue from referrals. The target audience is local consumers seeking hair removal and beauty treatments. The site has a niche market position with limited branding and trust signals. No company registration or legal entity information is provided, indicating a small or individual operator. The site links to multiple external domains related to beauty and health but does not appear to have formal partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth potential depends on local market interest and affiliate program success.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. The site does not demonstrate HTTPS usage or security headers in the provided data. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is available. Tracking scripts are present but without clear user consent mechanisms. The lack of WHOIS transparency further reduces trust. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of security best practices and compliance policies is a concern for user privacy and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms.
  3. Publish contact information including a business email and phone number for transparency.
  4. Include security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Notes

The website uses basic web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a Shift_JIS charset indicating Japanese language content. It includes JSON-LD structured data for breadcrumbs and uses affiliate marketing scripts from t.afi-b.com and tracking from Research Artisan Pro. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected.

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.
