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

Buildable is a small US-based web design and development agency specializing in modern, responsive websites, secure cloud hosting, and multiple CMS platform options including their proprietary LVSYS CMS and WordPress. They emphasize delivering results with a structured design process and outstanding customer support. The website is professionally designed with good SEO and mobile optimization, featuring clear navigation and rich content including testimonials and service descriptions. Technically, the site uses a mix of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, integrates Google Analytics, and employs Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Security practices include free SSL, 24/7 monitoring, and frequent backups, with additional protections on their proprietary CMS platform. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional business presence with room for improvement in security policy transparency and technical modernization.

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. 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. 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';…

  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
  • 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

Buildable operates in the technology sector as a service-based web agency targeting businesses and organizations needing web design, hosting, and CMS solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a proprietary CMS platform alongside WordPress services, combined with personalized support and a structured design approach. Revenue streams likely include design projects, hosting packages, support plans, and custom software development. The company maintains partnerships with related service providers such as ERP services and maintains a support/help site for their CMS platform. Growth indicators include a comprehensive portfolio and active client testimonials. The business model focuses on quality service delivery and customer satisfaction in a niche regional market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, SSL certificates provided for free, and 24/7 server monitoring with dual daily backups. The proprietary LVSYS CMS platform includes additional security measures such as locked down admin panels and alert systems. However, the site lacks visible HTTP security headers and does not publish a formal security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The use of Cookiebot indicates attention to privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact details on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and scripts to their latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of older JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.11.1) and modern tools like FontAwesome and Cookiebot. It is built on the proprietary LVSYS CMS platform with WordPress also offered as an option. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and social media integration. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in modernizing the tech stack and optimizing load times. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site includes analytics tracking via Google Analytics and uses Mailchimp for newsletter management. Technical risks include legacy library usage and missing HTTP security headers, which should be addressed to improve security and performance.
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.
