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

BootstrapMade is a specialized provider of high-quality Bootstrap website templates, offering both free and premium options to a broad audience including businesses, startups, agencies, and freelancers. Established in 2013, the company has built a strong market presence with over 9 million template downloads, reflecting its popularity and trustworthiness in the web development community. Their business model centers on template distribution and an online template builder service, catering to users seeking responsive and customizable web design solutions. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Bootstrap framework versions 4 and 5, Google Fonts, and Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, fast performance, and good SEO practices. The use of JSON-LD structured data enhances search engine understanding, while the presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates attention to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and employs domain transfer protection. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted as a gap. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional measures. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website presenting a professional, trustworthy, and compliant digital presence. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to further strengthen trust and security culture.

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

4 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 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

  3. 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

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

BootstrapMade holds a strong position in the niche market of Bootstrap templates, leveraging a large and engaged user base. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive collection of templates, ease of use via an online builder, and consistent updates aligned with modern design trends. Revenue streams likely include premium template sales and possibly subscription or licensing fees for builder access. The target customers range from individual developers to corporate clients needing quick, responsive website solutions. Growth indicators include high download counts and active social media engagement. The company operates independently with no parent or subsidiaries identified, focusing on technology sector offerings. Strategic observations suggest maintaining innovation in template design and expanding marketing efforts could enhance market share.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, domain transfer lock, and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. However, the lack of DNSSEC and incomplete security headers represent moderate risks that could be exploited in DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. The absence of a formal security policy and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit incident response readiness is not evident. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap framework versions 4 and 5, ensuring responsive and modern design. Google Fonts integration and Cloudflare CDN contribute to fast loading times and global availability. The use of JSON-LD structured data improves SEO and content discoverability. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is fast with minimal technical debt observed. Opportunities for modernization include enhancing security headers and adopting DNSSEC. Technical risks are low but should be monitored to maintain operational integrity.
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.
