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

Cloud Bastards operates as a niche marketplace offering discounted Virtual Private Servers (VPS) from premium providers, targeting individuals and businesses seeking affordable VPS hosting solutions. The website prominently features VPS plans, including a partnership with AppOnFly VPS, and provides a streamlined user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. The business model appears to be a reseller or affiliate marketplace, focusing on discounted VPS offerings with administrative rights and specialized use cases such as gaming, forex trading, and business software hosting. Technically, the website is built on the Weebly platform, utilizing standard web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Snowplow for analytics tracking. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS registrant data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the site content and social media presence lend some credibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes Google reCAPTCHA scripts, but it lacks comprehensive security headers and formalized privacy or security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of privacy and cookie policies, combined with missing WHOIS information, reduces overall trustworthiness and compliance posture. Overall, Cloud Bastards presents a functional and user-friendly VPS marketplace with moderate technical maturity and some security gaps. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security header implementation, and domain registration transparency are recommended to enhance trust and security posture.

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

Cloud Bastards positions itself as a specialized VPS marketplace focusing on discounted hosting services, leveraging partnerships with providers like AppOnFly VPS. The business targets cost-conscious customers needing VPS for various applications including gaming, business software, and forex trading. The marketplace model suggests revenue streams from reselling or affiliate commissions. The company maintains an active social media presence and integrates analytics tools for user behavior tracking. However, the lack of detailed company registration data and privacy policies indicates areas for operational maturity improvement. The partnership ecosystem with AppOnFly is a key strategic asset, enhancing service offerings and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which are essential for mitigating common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security events. The WHOIS data absence further detracts from trust and raises potential concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish terms of service and security policy documents to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Obtain and display clear WHOIS registrant information to enhance domain trustworthiness.
  5. Establish incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weebly platform using standard web technologies such as jQuery 1.8.3, Google Fonts, and Fancybox for UI enhancements. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Snowplow, indicating moderate digital maturity in user tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and content relevance. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of advanced accessibility features suggest technical debt. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
