Risk levelMedium

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

The website 'carbon.website' is a relatively new online presence, established in December 2022, utilizing WordPress CMS with Elementor and Bootstrap frameworks. It employs Cloudflare DNS services and Matomo analytics for visitor tracking. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenge, indicating no blocking mechanisms in place. However, it lacks critical compliance documents such as privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms of service, and does not provide any contact information or security policies. The technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enabling DNSSEC and implementing security headers. Overall, the security posture is moderate but with room for improvement, especially in privacy compliance and vulnerability disclosure. The content quality is basic with limited business information, and no explicit or adult content is present, making it safe for general audiences.

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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

The business behind 'carbon.website' is not explicitly identified on the site, with no company name, description, or contact details provided. The domain is registered via Namecheap and uses Cloudflare DNS, which is common for many websites. The lack of business information and compliance documents suggests a small or early-stage operation. The site targets a general audience but does not clearly define its market position or services. The use of Matomo analytics indicates an interest in visitor data, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies raises compliance concerns. There are no detected partnerships or subsidiaries linked to the domain. Overall, the business intelligence points to a small-scale or personal project rather than an established commercial entity.

Security posture

Security measures include HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, which prevents unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, and there is no security.txt file or incident response contact information. The site does not disclose any security frameworks or certifications. Forms and data collection mechanisms are minimal or absent, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The overall security posture is moderate but lacks comprehensive best practices and transparency, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

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 and consent mechanisms.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response communication.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Bootstrap 4 framework, indicating a modern and responsive design approach. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Matomo analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare DNS services, which can provide performance and security benefits. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt and potential security risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small website but requires enhancements to meet higher security and compliance standards.
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.
