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

Cargo.site is a technology platform providing a site builder service tailored for designers and artists. The platform focuses on enabling creatives to showcase their work and connect with peers, positioning itself as a niche player in the creative technology market. Founded in 2019 and hosted on AWS infrastructure, Cargo employs modern web technologies including React and JavaScript frameworks, with integrations for analytics and advertising via Google Tag Manager and Reddit Pixel. The website demonstrates good design quality and user experience, though mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers which are recommended for enhanced security. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies were detected in the homepage HTML, indicating gaps in privacy compliance. No contact information or incident response details are publicly visible, which may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. The domain registration is privacy protected, which is common and justified for this business type, and the domain age aligns with the company's founding date. Overall, Cargo.site presents a professional and functional platform with moderate security posture and technical maturity. Key improvements include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and providing clear contact and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

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 operates in the technology sector as a platform service provider targeting creative professionals such as designers and artists. Its business model revolves around providing a proprietary CMS and hosting environment for portfolio and site building. The company leverages a community network to enhance user engagement and job opportunities for creatives. Market positioning is niche with a focus on quality and creative empowerment. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for site hosting and premium features. The company shows moderate digital maturity with modern tech stack usage and cloud hosting. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. Growth indicators include a consistent domain registration and active use of advertising and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of published privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and incident response contacts indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and related regulations. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified but limits transparency. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels including security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

Cargo.site uses a modern JavaScript-based tech stack, likely React, with asynchronous script loading and modular chunking for performance. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS nameservers. The site includes Google Tag Manager and Reddit Pixel for analytics and advertising. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. No CMS other than the proprietary Cargo platform is detected. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. Overall, the infrastructure is contemporary but could be enhanced with additional security and compliance features.
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.
