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

Codeus is a Montenegro-based software development company specializing in web and mobile applications, system design, and consultancy services. Established in 2014, it serves clients locally and internationally, including the USA and EU markets. The company presents a professional and consistent brand image with a clear portfolio and team information, positioning itself as a reliable partner for software solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Revolution Slider, and Google Maps API. It uses HTTPS and includes CSRF protection tokens, indicating a baseline security posture. Analytics tools like Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight are integrated, reflecting moderate digital maturity. Security-wise, the site lacks some best practices such as security headers and published policies for privacy and cookies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain is privacy protected but has a long registration history consistent with the business age. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Codeus operates in the technology sector, focusing on custom software development and IT system engineering. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting businesses needing tailored web and mobile applications and consultancy. The company leverages a skilled team and showcases a diverse portfolio, indicating a competitive position in its regional market with international reach. Revenue streams likely come from project-based contracts and ongoing consultancy. The presence of social media and analytics tools suggests active marketing and client engagement efforts. The company uses privacy protection for domain registration, which is common in the industry. Strategically, Codeus could enhance growth by formalizing privacy and security policies, expanding contact channels, and possibly publishing certifications or compliance attestations to strengthen market confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and CSRF token usage. However, it lacks several security headers that could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Analytics tracking is present but without visible user consent mechanisms, raising privacy concerns. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and no outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements in policy publication, header implementation, and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Add explicit consent mechanisms for cookies and tracking to comply with privacy regulations and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and responsive design framework (Bootstrap) combined with popular JavaScript libraries and plugins like jQuery and Revolution Slider. Google Fonts and FontAwesome enhance visual appeal. Google Maps API integration provides location context. The site loads asynchronously loaded analytics scripts for Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight, indicating a focus on marketing analytics. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected in the HTML content. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and structured navigation but lacks advanced SEO metadata like Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is inferred to be with GoDaddy based on WHOIS data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
