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

CDNFonts is a niche technology website offering a large collection of over 30,000 free desktop and web fonts. The platform targets designers, developers, and content creators seeking easy integration of fonts via a CDN for enhanced website aesthetics and user experience. The business model revolves around free font distribution with monetization likely through advertising, as evidenced by Google AdSense integration. The site is positioned as a specialized font resource with a focus on accessibility and ease of use. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and uses the Yii PHP framework. Fonts are loaded dynamically using the FontFace API to optimize performance. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with basic accessibility features. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, but lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no certifications are displayed. The use of multiple third-party analytics and ad networks without clear consent mechanisms poses privacy risks. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security practices, and clearer business contact information to increase trustworthiness and regulatory adherence.

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. 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 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

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, focusing on font distribution and webfont CDN services. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a vast free font library with easy web integration. The business model appears ad-supported, targeting web designers and developers. The absence of detailed company information and contact channels suggests a small or startup operation. Growth potential exists through expanding font offerings and improving compliance and security to attract enterprise clients. The partnership ecosystem is limited to third-party analytics and CDN providers. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced privacy compliance and transparent business information to build credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and CSRF protection in place. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are essential for mitigating common web attacks. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism despite using cookies and tracking scripts indicates non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, limiting readiness for security incidents. The security culture appears minimal, with reliance on standard third-party tools but no visible proactive measures. Business impact of these gaps includes potential regulatory fines and reputational damage.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies with contact channels for reporting issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but somewhat dated JavaScript library (jQuery 3.4.0) alongside contemporary tools like FontFace API and ScrollTrigger for font loading and UI effects. The Yii PHP framework suggests a structured backend. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta descriptions. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Technical debt is moderate due to reliance on older jQuery versions and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations to reduce operational risks.
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.
