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

CDNFonts is a niche online platform offering a large collection of over 30,000 free desktop and web fonts, with a focus on easy integration via CDN for designers, developers, and content creators. The website provides font previews, downloads, and webfont usage, positioning itself as a convenient resource for typography needs. Technically, the site uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and other libraries, with a Yii PHP framework backend indicated by asset paths. The site is mobile responsive and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and font preview features. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is used, and CSRF tokens are present, but no advanced security headers or incident response information are found. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and terms of service, but no cookie consent mechanism is implemented. The biggest concern is the lack of WHOIS data for the domain www.cdnfonts.com, which raises questions about domain legitimacy and ownership. Overall, the site is functional and useful but would benefit from improved security practices and verified business information.

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

5 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 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

CDNFonts operates in the technology sector, specifically in digital typography and font distribution. Its business model revolves around providing free fonts with CDN delivery to enhance website design and development workflows. The target audience includes web designers, developers, and content creators seeking easy font integration. The platform leverages advertising revenue through Google Adsense and tracks user behavior with Google Analytics. The absence of verified WHOIS data and contact information limits trust and business credibility. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The site appears to be a small-scale operation focused on font distribution rather than a large enterprise. Growth potential exists given the demand for webfonts, but establishing verified business credentials and improving privacy compliance would strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and CSRF tokens are implemented, indicating basic protection against common web attacks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party analytics and ad networks introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism is present, which may conflict with GDPR requirements. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant red flag, potentially indicating domain registration issues or privacy concerns. Overall, while the site is not overtly vulnerable, it lacks several best practices that would enhance security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Publish contact information and a security incident response policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update domain registration details to ensure legitimacy and improve business credibility.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Notie.js for notifications, and ScrollTrigger for animations. The backend appears to be powered by the Yii PHP framework. Fonts are served via a dedicated CDN domain (fonts.cdnfonts.com). The site is mobile responsive with a clean UI and font preview capabilities. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. However, there is no evidence of advanced caching or performance optimization techniques. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is missing, which is a critical technical and trust issue. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
