Security score

46/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website bluesignguide.com serves as a public database for bluesign® APPROVED textile articles, focusing on sustainable fabrics and trims manufactured with minimal environmental and social impact. It is positioned as a niche service supporting manufacturers, brands, and consumers interested in sustainable textile products. The site is branded consistently with bluesign technologies ag, a Swiss company known for its bluesign® certification. However, the domain WHOIS data is missing or indicates no registration, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and requires further verification. Technically, the site uses modern Vue.js and Vuetify frameworks, providing a good user experience with moderate performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate but lacks visible security headers and contact information, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and legal note, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but needs to address domain registration transparency and enhance security and privacy 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

bluesignguide.com operates in the sustainable textile certification sector, providing a database of bluesign® APPROVED articles. The business model revolves around certification and transparency in textile manufacturing, targeting brands and manufacturers committed to sustainability. The partnership with SGS and the official bluesign website strengthens its market position. The site does not display direct revenue streams but likely supports the broader bluesign certification ecosystem. The target audience includes industry professionals and environmentally conscious consumers. The lack of explicit contact details and domain registration data may impact trust and growth potential. The company appears medium-sized and based in Switzerland, with a focus on environmental and social responsibility in textiles.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The absence of contact information and incident response channels limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy policy presence indicates some compliance awareness, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the site should enhance its security headers, provide clear contact and incident response information, and implement cookie consent to improve compliance and security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add visible company contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Vue.js and Vuetify, which provide a responsive and user-friendly interface. The site loads moderate content with some loading indicators, suggesting asynchronous data fetching. No CMS or backend technology was identified from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading images and scripts. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. SEO optimization is minimal but present through meta tags and structured layout. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not visible from the HTML content and should be verified externally. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced performance tuning and accessibility improvements.
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.
