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. 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

  3. 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

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

The business operates in the media sector with a focus on literary publishing and subscription revenue. It targets English-speaking literary readers interested in Central European culture. The company leverages digital content distribution and print sales, supported by an e-commerce platform. Partnerships include payment processing via Simplepartner.hu. The company is relatively new (founded 2021) but shows consistent branding and content quality. Growth potential lies in expanding readership and subscription base through digital marketing and exclusive content offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers were detected. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved. The use of third-party analytics and marketing pixels is extensive but managed with cookie consent. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It integrates marketing and analytics tools including Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, and Gemius. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags implemented. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism from FreePrivacyPolicy.com ensuring GDPR compliance. Hosting and domain registration are stable with 1API GmbH as registrar and DNS hosted on dns24.hu. Some technical debt is noted in missing DNSSEC and security headers, but overall the infrastructure is modern and well-maintained.
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.
