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

ByPeople is an online curated marketplace offering over 10,000 ready-to-download digital resources and lifetime deals targeted at developers, designers, and startups. The platform provides a wide range of digital assets including fonts, templates, plugins, and design bundles, positioning itself as a niche player in the technology sector focused on digital design and development. The website is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as Bootstrap 4, jQuery, and integrates analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

7 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 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

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

ByPeople operates as a small-sized technology business focusing on digital asset distribution and lifetime deals. Its business model combines direct sales and subscription-based access to premium deals and bundles. The company targets a specialized audience of web developers, designers, and startups seeking curated digital resources. The presence of social media channels and a newsletter subscription indicates active marketing and community engagement. The lack of explicit company contact information and missing WHOIS data suggests a need for improved transparency. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its curated content and lifetime deal offerings, appealing to cost-conscious professionals and small businesses.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. The site uses third-party scripts for analytics and live chat, which require regular auditing to mitigate supply chain risks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, indicating partial GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.

  5. No explicit security headers detected in provided data.
  6. WHOIS data missing, which is unusual and lowers domain trust score.
  7. Website targets developers, designers, and startups with digital assets.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap 4 framework and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.0 and jQuery Validate. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. The site loads multiple external resources including fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome and Material Design Icons. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented for images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive navigation menus. The site uses Stencil.js for footer components, indicating some modern frontend practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance areas.
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.
