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

buildspace is an educational technology platform focused on enabling individuals to build their own ideas through six-week project-based learning programs. The website positions itself as a community and school for creators and developers, with a history of being one of the largest in its niche. Technically, the site is built using Framer, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates multiple analytics and tracking services including PostHog, Google Analytics, and TikTok Pixel. The site is hosted with Cloudflare DNS and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure transport. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, and does not provide contact information, which impacts compliance and trust. Security headers are not evident, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating room for improvement in security posture. Overall, the site is professional and safe but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

9 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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.

Leaked records that mention buildspace.so, from OffSeq Breach.

Breach holds no records for buildspace.so right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 education sector, targeting developers and creators interested in building projects independently. Its business model revolves around time-bound educational cohorts and community engagement. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the business founding date, supporting legitimacy. The platform has a moderate market position with a niche focus. Revenue streams likely include program fees or sponsorships, though not explicitly stated. The presence of social media engagement via Twitter indicates active community interaction. The lack of detailed business contact information and policies suggests a lean operation or early-stage business. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status clientTransferProhibited is set, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts without visible consent mechanisms, which may raise privacy compliance concerns. No security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking.
  4. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Framer, a modern web design and CMS platform, with a tech stack including JavaScript and multiple analytics integrations. Hosting appears to be via Framer's infrastructure with Cloudflare DNS services. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts for analytics and tracking, which may impact performance but is common practice. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design breakpoints. SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags are properly configured, supporting social sharing and search engine indexing. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and optimization possible.
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.
