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

Chudovo is a well-established software development company founded in 2004, offering a broad range of IT services including custom software development, dedicated development teams, application maintenance, and cloud development. The company targets businesses seeking scalable and innovative software solutions, leveraging AI and machine learning technologies to enhance delivery speed and quality. With multiple international offices and a strong portfolio of over 160 projects, Chudovo positions itself as a reliable partner in the technology sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and jQuery, optimized for mobile and SEO. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site uses standard plugins for forms and code highlighting, and implements lazy loading for images to improve load times. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs clientTransferProhibited domain status, but lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers. Contact forms include CAPTCHA and an NDA option, enhancing data protection. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with good content quality and user experience. Security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional headers and policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent present but no dedicated privacy policy page detected. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy 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

8 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 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
  • 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

Chudovo operates in the technology sector, focusing on B2B software development and IT consulting services. The company has a competitive advantage through its long market presence, diverse service offerings including AI and machine learning, and a global footprint with offices in Europe, North America, and Africa. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based software development, dedicated team contracts, and ongoing maintenance services. The target customers are enterprises and mid-sized companies requiring custom IT solutions. The company maintains a professional online presence with client testimonials and Clutch reviews, indicating a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on quality delivery. Strategic observations include leveraging AI tools for development efficiency and expanding industry verticals such as healthcare, fintech, and e-commerce.

Security posture

Chudovo's security maturity is moderate. The website uses HTTPS exclusively, which is mandatory for secure communications. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. The site lacks explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. The contact form includes CAPTCHA and an NDA option, showing awareness of data protection. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency and readiness for security incidents. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are increasingly standard for mature security postures. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a software service company but has room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by publishing a comprehensive privacy policy and improving cookie consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It employs modern web practices such as lazy loading images and uses Google Fonts for typography. The site integrates Contact Form 7 for user inquiries with CAPTCHA to prevent spam. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags implemented via Yoast SEO plugin. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and labels present but no advanced accessibility features detected. The technical stack is stable and well-maintained, though some security enhancements and performance optimizations could be applied to further improve robustness and user experience.
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.
