Risk levelMedium

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

The website authentic-sound.com is a Japanese language content site focused on facial esthetic treatments and salons in Machida, Japan. It provides detailed descriptions of various facial esthetic procedures, local area information, and salon recommendations. The site appears to be a niche content and recommendation platform likely monetized through affiliate marketing or advertising. Technically, the site is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without advanced frameworks or CMS detected. It includes third-party tracking scripts from Research Artisan Pro for analytics. Security posture is weak due to lack of HTTPS confirmation, absence of security headers, and no visible privacy or cookie policies. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered, which raises concerns about legitimacy and ownership. Overall, the site provides good quality content but lacks critical security and compliance 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

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

The site targets women interested in facial esthetic services in Machida, Japan, positioning itself as a local niche content provider in the beauty and skincare sector. Its business model appears to be content-driven with potential affiliate or advertising revenue streams. The absence of company contact details, certifications, or legal information limits its business credibility. External links to unrelated domains suggest possible affiliate partnerships but no clear business partners or subsidiaries are identified. The site is small in scale and focused on localized content without broader corporate structure or parent company affiliations.

Security posture

The website lacks visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. 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 provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security events. The use of third-party tracking scripts without clear privacy disclosures further weakens privacy compliance. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant red flag, suggesting potential issues with domain legitimacy or ownership transparency. Overall, the security posture is low and requires substantial improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other data protection laws.
  3. Publish clear contact information including company email, phone number, and physical address.
  4. Configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS registration status to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is constructed with standard HTML and CSS, with JavaScript used primarily for tracking purposes. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a simple custom-built site. The site includes a JSON-LD breadcrumb structured data snippet for SEO. External links point to various unrelated domains, likely affiliate or advertising partners. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. Accessibility features are minimal. The site uses a third-party analytics service (Research Artisan Pro) via JavaScript and tracking pixels. No hosting provider or CDN information is discernible from the data provided.
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.
