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

3 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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

The business operates in the niche market of WordPress theme and plugin development, targeting bloggers, businesses, and developers. Revenue streams likely include theme/plugin sales and customization services. The company leverages partnerships with major WordPress ecosystem players such as WooCommerce, WPML, Yoast, and Jetpack, enhancing product compatibility and market reach. Customer testimonials and social media presence support credibility and customer engagement. Founded in 2020, the company is relatively new but shows consistent domain registration and active content updates.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and reCAPTCHA for form security, and implements cookie consent for GDPR compliance. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security.txt, and explicit incident response or security policies, which are important for mature security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not explicitly identified. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers. Overall, security is adequate for a small business but can be improved with additional measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Add additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 with common plugins like All in One SEO and Contact Form 7, optimized with LiteSpeed cache CSS/JS minification. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but DNS parking is used. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business scale, with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
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.
