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

BeardStyles.org is a specialized AI-driven platform that enables users to upload photos and preview various beard styles using advanced generative models. The service targets men interested in grooming and style experimentation, offering a freemium model with paid credit packs for watermark-free downloads. The website is built on modern technologies such as Next.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting a commitment to user data protection. However, the site lacks explicit security and incident response policies, and no direct contact information is provided, which could impact user trust and compliance transparency. Overall, the platform demonstrates a strong technical foundation and user experience, positioning it well within the niche AI grooming market.

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

1 finding 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      There is no DMARC record at _dmarc.beardstyles.org, so receivers have no instruction for mail that fails SPF and DKIM.

      What to do: Publish a TXT record at _dmarc.beardstyles.org, starting with "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@beardstyles.org" and moving to p=quarantine or p=reject once reports look clean.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention beardstyles.org, from OffSeq Breach.

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 technology sector, focusing on AI-powered personal grooming solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in combining AI generative models with practical style guides and face shape analysis. Revenue streams include one-time credit packs for AI beard generation. The target customer segment is men seeking to experiment with beard styles digitally before committing to physical grooming. The company maintains a clean and consistent brand image with clear pricing and user guidance. Partnerships with AI model providers like Replicate and use of Google Nano Banana 2 model indicate a strategic approach to leveraging cutting-edge AI technology. Growth potential exists in expanding style offerings and enhancing user engagement through personalized recommendations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, indicating adherence to best practices. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie consent and a privacy policy aligned with GDPR principles. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The platform would benefit from adding dedicated security contact channels and formalizing its security governance documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add clear company contact information including support and security-related email addresses.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js, a modern React framework, combined with Tailwind CSS for styling, resulting in a performant and responsive user experience. The use of AI models via Replicate and Google Nano Banana 2 indicates integration with external AI services for core functionality. The site includes structured data (FAQ schema) for SEO benefits and uses Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata for social sharing optimization. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Hosting is likely on a platform optimized for Next.js deployments, such as Vercel. Accessibility and SEO practices are well implemented, though the site could improve by adding more comprehensive metadata and ARIA attributes. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-architected for scalability and user engagement.
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.
