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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

Business profile

Codepip occupies a niche in the educational technology market, focusing on gamified coding education for web development. Its competitive advantage lies in interactive games that teach coding concepts in an engaging manner, supported by a freemium model that encourages user acquisition and conversion to paid plans. Revenue streams include monthly, annual, and lifetime subscriptions, as well as group and classroom licenses. The platform targets learners preparing for coding interviews or projects, appealing to both individuals and educational institutions. Partnerships with payment processors like Stripe and endorsements from respected web development communities strengthen its ecosystem. The company has maintained consistent domain registration since 2017, indicating operational stability and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. The lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. Data protection practices appear adequate with no exposed sensitive information, and payment processing is securely integrated via Stripe. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through privacy and terms of service pages but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced controls and transparency to mitigate risks and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user privacy control.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and plugins to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a mature WordPress CMS platform enhanced with Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for iconography. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Stripe's SDK enable dynamic content and secure payment processing. Hosting via Cloudflare provides CDN and DNS services, contributing to moderate performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-conscious with proper meta tags and structured content. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and optimize performance further.
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.
