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

3 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Envato's CodeCanyon operates as an essential entity within the technology sector, focusing on digital asset marketplaces. Its business model revolves around facilitating transactions between developers and buyers, generating revenue through sales commissions and affiliate programs. The platform's extensive category structure and curated featured items indicate a mature ecosystem with diverse offerings. Partnerships with Envato Elements, Placeit, and Tuts+ enhance its value proposition by providing complementary creative resources. The company maintains a significant community presence, supported by forums and help centers, which fosters user engagement and trust. The domain registration and WHOIS data align with the company's Australian base, reinforcing legitimacy. The marketplace's scale, with millions of items sold and substantial community earnings, reflects strong market penetration and operational success.

Security posture

CodeCanyon exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of CSRF tokens in forms, and integration of security monitoring tools such as Rollbar and Datadog. The implementation of Cookiebot for cookie consent demonstrates adherence to privacy and data protection regulations. However, explicit security policies or incident response contacts are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The presence of security headers is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. Overall, the platform maintains good security hygiene suitable for an e-commerce marketplace handling user data and transactions.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and user trust.
  2. Explicitly implement and confirm security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance user education on privacy and security practices through accessible documentation.

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.
