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

Aurelia.io is the official website for Aurelia, a JavaScript client framework designed for building web, mobile, and desktop applications. The site targets developers and software engineers interested in modern JavaScript frameworks. The business operates in the technology sector, focusing on providing an open source framework that leverages simple conventions to empower creativity. The domain is mature, registered since 2014, and the website presents a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and user experience. Technically, the website is built using the Hugo static site generator, employs Google Fonts and Font Awesome Pro for styling, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO features. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the domain is registered with NameCheap, Inc. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie policy, or terms of service, which impacts privacy compliance. No contact information or incident response details are provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The WHOIS data shows privacy protection, which is justified for this type of small technology business. Overall, the website is safe and suitable for a general audience with no adult or questionable content detected. The security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adding security headers, privacy documentation, and explicit contact channels. The AI score reflects good business credibility and technical implementation but lower privacy compliance due to missing policies.

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

      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';…

  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

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

Aurelia positions itself as a niche player in the JavaScript framework market, targeting developers who value simplicity and creativity in client-side development. The business model likely revolves around open source distribution with potential commercial support or consulting services. The company appears to be small in size, with a focused technology sector presence. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy documentation suggests a lean operation, possibly community-driven. The mature domain age supports a stable presence in the market. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is common for small tech entities and does not raise suspicion. The website's integration with Google Tag Manager indicates an interest in user analytics and marketing insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves DNS queries vulnerable to spoofing. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site does not provide explicit security policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is present, which is a missed opportunity for responsible security management. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a static informational site but should be improved for higher trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security or abuse email addresses to facilitate incident reporting and response.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Hugo static site generator, which is a modern and efficient framework for static content delivery. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome Pro for typography and icons, indicating attention to design quality. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics, showing a level of digital maturity in tracking user interactions. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses integrity attributes for CSS and JS files, enhancing security and performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. However, the absence of accessibility features and security headers suggests areas for technical improvement. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain registrar is reputable. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility compliance.
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.
