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

CODERS.BAY is a technology-focused company specializing in software development and IT solutions, positioned as an award-winning and recognized player in its industry. The website is built on WordPress using a professional commercial theme and incorporates modern JavaScript libraries to enhance user experience. The technical infrastructure shows moderate digital maturity with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, including structured data and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent blocking tracking scripts until user approval; however, the absence of security headers and explicit privacy policies indicates room for improvement. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

5 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention codersbay.at, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for codersbay.at right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company targets developers, technology professionals, and clients seeking software development services. Its business model revolves around providing IT consulting and software development services. The market position is supported by awards and media recognition, suggesting a competitive advantage in quality and reputation. The website's use of structured data and professional design supports its credibility. However, the lack of visible contact information and formal policies may limit trust for new visitors. The partnership with United Themes for the website theme indicates a professional approach to digital presence. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not explicitly visible but implied through service offerings and market positioning.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations. Google Tag Manager is integrated with consent blocking, indicating awareness of privacy concerns. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers and publish security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a commercial Brooklyn theme by United Themes, leveraging a variety of modern JavaScript libraries for UI effects and functionality. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, integrated with Borlabs Cookie for consent management. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple JS libraries and CSS files. Accessibility is basic, with no explicit ARIA or accessibility features detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data.
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.
