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

AXS Map is an accessibility-focused online platform designed to help users find and map inclusive venues and community spaces. The website leverages modern web technologies including React and Google Maps API to deliver an interactive user experience. The platform supports community engagement through mapathons and team collaboration features, targeting individuals seeking accessibility information. The domain is well-established since 2010, indicating a mature presence in its niche. Technically, the website is built on a modern JavaScript framework with integration of Google services and is hosted with DNS managed by Cloudflare. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is reasonable with HTTPS enforced and domain protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers which are recommended for improved security. From a compliance perspective, the site currently lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for GDPR and general privacy compliance. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and user trust. Google Analytics is used for tracking without a visible consent mechanism, indicating potential privacy compliance gaps. Overall, AXS Map presents a focused and professional service with good technical foundations but would benefit from enhanced security practices and privacy compliance measures to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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

  3. 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';…

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

AXS Map occupies a niche market in accessibility mapping and community inclusion, providing a unique service that combines venue data with community-driven mapathons and team collaboration. Its business model appears to be based on providing free access to accessibility information, supported by donations. The platform targets individuals with accessibility needs and advocates for inclusive spaces. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding. However, the lack of explicit business contact information and formal policies may limit its perceived credibility and growth potential. Strategic partnerships or certifications could enhance market positioning and trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are best practices to mitigate common web attacks. The site uses Google Analytics without visible cookie consent, raising privacy compliance concerns. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy compliance enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Add visible contact information and incident response channels to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, leveraging chunked JavaScript files and Google Maps API for location services. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, and the domain is registered through Squarespace Domains II LLC, indicating a likely Squarespace hosting environment. The site loads multiple CSS and JS chunks asynchronously, suggesting a modern SPA architecture. Performance is moderate with no major blocking issues detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but could be improved. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. No CMS beyond the hosting platform is explicitly identified.
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.
