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

Cargo is a technology company operating a site builder platform tailored for designers and artists. The platform focuses on enabling creatives to showcase their work and connect with potential clients and peers. The business operates in a niche market segment with a clear target audience and offers key services including site building tools, templates, and a community network. The website is professionally designed with good content relevance and user experience, although it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks, including React, and is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure. Analytics and advertising tools such as Google Tag Manager and Reddit Ads Pixel are integrated, indicating moderate user tracking. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the site is legitimate and functional but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

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 positions itself as a specialized platform for creative professionals, differentiating from generic site builders by focusing on designers and artists. Its business model revolves around providing customizable templates and community features to attract and retain users. The company was founded in 2019, consistent with the domain registration date. The platform likely generates revenue through subscriptions or premium features, although no explicit monetization details are present. The use of third-party ad networks and tracking indicates a marketing strategy to grow its user base. The absence of detailed contact or corporate information limits deeper business intelligence insights. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS and domain registration protections such as clientTransferProhibited status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue management. The use of external tracking pixels introduces privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced policies, headers, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Add clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and user support.
  5. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process to improve security culture and responsiveness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and JavaScript modules, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS servers. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Reddit Ads Pixel for analytics and advertising, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site loads multiple JavaScript chunks asynchronously, suggesting modular and optimized code delivery. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security hardening. The absence of privacy and cookie consent mechanisms also points to compliance gaps. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but has room for security and privacy improvements.
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.
