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

The website chromadesignsystem.com hosts the Chroma Design System documentation, currently at version 13.2.0. It serves as a technical resource primarily targeting developers and designers interested in using the Chroma design system. The site is built using the Docusaurus framework and React, indicating a modern technical infrastructure. Hosting and DNS are managed via Amazon's AWS infrastructure, providing reliable and scalable backend support. The site includes Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and analytics purposes. However, the site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are critical for compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No contact information or business details are provided, limiting transparency and user trust. Security headers are not detected, and DNSSEC is not enabled, suggesting room for improvement in security posture. Overall, the site is accessible, functional, and technically sound but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  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

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

Chroma Design System appears to be a technology-focused product aimed at software developers and UI/UX designers. The business model likely revolves around providing a design system framework or toolkit, possibly as an open-source or commercial offering. The domain age (since 2018) aligns with a mature product lifecycle. The absence of explicit business information, contact details, or certifications limits the ability to assess market positioning or partnerships. The site’s use of modern frameworks and analytics tools indicates a focus on digital maturity and user engagement. There is no evidence of revenue streams or commercial transactions on the site itself. The target audience is technical professionals seeking design system resources. Strategic growth could be supported by adding clearer business information and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The site includes forms and inputs typical for documentation sites but lacks explicit security or privacy policies. Incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from implementing recommended security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add visible contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack using React and Docusaurus, a popular static site generator for documentation. It leverages Amazon's AWS DNS infrastructure, indicating reliable hosting. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for tracking user behavior. The site’s CSS and JavaScript assets are well-structured, and the design is responsive and accessible at a basic level. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and preconnect hints for analytics domains. However, the site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and accessibility features could be improved. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC represents technical risks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but can be enhanced with security and compliance best practices.
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.
