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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Booklify.me occupies a niche market in digital book collection management, leveraging barcode scanning technology to simplify user experience. Its competitive advantage lies in seamless integration with a companion app and automatic organization of collections. The business model appears to be freemium or free account based, targeting individual readers and collectors. The company is small, founded recently in 2023, and uses privacy protection for domain registration, which is common for startups. The ecosystem includes links to Ko-fi for donations and a GitLab repository for transparency. Growth potential depends on user adoption and possible expansion of services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection active. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency in handling security incidents. The presence of a tracking script without a cookie consent banner may raise privacy concerns under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small startup but could be improved with enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Consider publishing contact information for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 18 with Angular Material for UI components, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end framework. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS, providing performance and security benefits. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO optimization is basic but present with proper meta tags. Accessibility features are basic but could be enhanced. The use of a third-party analytics script (u.cd0.eu) suggests minimal user tracking. No CMS or backend technology was explicitly detected from the front-end content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small-scale web application but could benefit from additional security and privacy enhancements.
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.
