Risk levelLow

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

CheckMySource is a small technology company operating a crowd-sourced platform that provides safety reports on websites based on user feedback for specific activities such as logging in, paying, uploading files, and writing notes. The service emphasizes transparency by showing raw counts behind verdicts and does not require user accounts for lookup or reporting, positioning itself as a niche community-driven website safety resource. The website is well designed with good mobile optimization and accessibility, offering a clear and professional user experience. Technically, the site uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and web manifest files, though no major frameworks or CMS are detected. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR compliance indicators. Business credibility is supported by transparent operations and no paid ratings, but contact information is limited to a web form without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe with no adult or questionable content detected.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside
  5. (e) Secure acquisition, development and maintenance, including vulnerability handling: Partly checked
  6. (f) Assessing the effectiveness of security measures: Not visible from outside
  7. (g) Cyber hygiene and security training: Not visible from outside
  8. (h) Cryptography and encryption: Partly checked
  9. (i) HR security, access control and asset management: One indicator
  10. (j) Multi-factor authentication and secured communications: Not visible from outside

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. 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.

    • Medium

      Weak Protocols Supported

      The server still accepts TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0, deprecated by RFC 8996. Modern browsers no longer use them, but they let outdated clients connect with weak cryptography.

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1; keep TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 (in CDN dashboards this is the "minimum TLS version" setting).

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention checkmysource.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for checkmysource.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the technology sector providing a unique crowd-sourced website safety reporting service. Its business model relies on community-generated reports rather than automated scanning or audits, targeting general internet users concerned about site safety. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its per-activity verdicts and transparency of raw data behind ratings. Revenue streams are not explicit but likely minimal or based on ancillary services such as watch lists and alerts. The company maintains a small footprint with no detected subsidiaries or partnerships. Growth potential exists in expanding user base and report volume. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the data. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to build greater trust.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in formal security governance. Data protection practices appear minimal with no GDPR compliance indicators beyond a basic privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small tech service but could be improved by adopting best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response procedures.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by explicitly addressing GDPR requirements and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern, standards-compliant tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It includes a web manifest for progressive web app capabilities and uses SVG for logos and icons. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No CMS or major frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Technical debt appears low but opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy features. The site is well structured with clear navigation and no broken elements detected.
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.
