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

Cat With a Clarinet is a personal instance of the Sharkey social platform operated by an individual named ChloeCat. The website serves as a niche social platform with a small user base, supported by a community of CWAC Pro supporters. The business model revolves around hosting this personal social instance with supporter contributions and donations. The site is relatively new, having been registered in May 2024, and targets users interested in the Sharkey platform and related social networks. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, the Vite bundler, and Phosphor icons, running on a web platform with HTTPS enabled. The hosting registrar is Porkbun LLC, and the domain is protected against unauthorized deletion and transfer but lacks DNSSEC. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no incident response or security contact information is provided. There are no signs of vulnerabilities or malicious content, but improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation are recommended. Overall, the website is a trustworthy personal project with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response readiness would enhance its security and trustworthiness.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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 website operates as a personal social platform instance, targeting a niche community of Sharkey users and supporters. Its competitive advantage lies in its personalized hosting and community engagement through supporter acknowledgments and donation mechanisms. The business model is based on voluntary supporter contributions rather than commercial revenue streams. The target audience is technically savvy users interested in decentralized social platforms. Growth indicators are limited due to the personal nature of the project. Partnerships with related domains such as activitypub.software and ko-fi.com support platform development and funding. The operation is small-scale with no parent or subsidiary companies identified.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which impacts compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness is minimal, with no dedicated security contact channels. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security culture appears informal, consistent with a personal project. Enhancing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing privacy and incident response policies would improve the security maturity and compliance.

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.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address, to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations and improve accessibility and SEO features.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with Vite for module bundling and Phosphor icons for UI elements. It runs a Sharkey social platform instance with a custom theme and branding. The hosting is likely on a VPS or dedicated server registered via Porkbun LLC. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or lightweight platform. The site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts were found, indicating minimal tracking. The technical infrastructure is suitable for a small personal project but could benefit from enhanced 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.
