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

Cargo is a technology platform specializing in site building services tailored for designers and artists. The platform focuses on enabling creatives to showcase their work and secure jobs or clients, while fostering a community network for peer exposure. The business operates in the technology sector, with a medium-sized footprint and a founding date in 2019. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and user experience, targeting creative professionals globally. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks, likely React, and integrates common marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Reddit Ads Pixel. Hosting infrastructure is based on Amazon AWS, with DNS managed by AWS nameservers. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate to basic, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO features. Security practices include HTTPS and domain transfer/update protections, but lack DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. From a security perspective, the site shows a moderate security posture with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the provided data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, lack of visible contact information, and missing security headers represent compliance and security gaps. The domain is privacy protected, which is justified for this business type, and the registration details align with the company’s profile. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, Cargo demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with good market positioning in the creative technology space. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance trust and regulatory adherence. The current risk level is moderate with no immediate critical issues, but attention to compliance and security best practices is advised.

Priority findings

8 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

Cargo operates as a niche site builder platform targeting designers and artists, focusing on portfolio creation and community networking. Its business model revolves around providing tools for creatives to display work and connect with clients, likely generating revenue through subscriptions or service fees. The company is positioned as a specialized technology provider within the creative industry, leveraging modern web technologies and cloud hosting. The use of privacy protection for domain registration aligns with standard practices for tech startups. The absence of explicit business contact details and policies suggests an opportunity to improve transparency and customer trust. The platform’s integration with advertising and analytics services indicates active marketing efforts to grow its user base. Overall, Cargo maintains a focused market presence with potential for expansion through enhanced compliance and security measures.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and domain registration includes transfer and update prohibitions, which protect against unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, limiting the ability to report or respond to security issues effectively. Tracking technologies are present but without clear user consent mechanisms, raising privacy concerns. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit significantly from implementing recommended headers, policies, and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and abuse contacts.
  5. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript technologies, likely React, and served via a custom CMS platform hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure. The use of modulepreload and ES modules indicates a modern frontend build process. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site integrates third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Reddit Ads Pixel, which enable user tracking and advertising but require privacy compliance enhancements. The domain uses privacy protection services, which is common for tech startups. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be improved with enhanced security headers, accessibility, and privacy features to reduce technical debt and improve user trust.
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.
