Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.cool-de.com is an active Chinese-language interior design community platform branded as 室内设计联盟官网-设计师互动平台. It offers a range of services including design project showcases, discussion forums, design materials, daily sign-in features, job postings, and design courses. The platform is built on the Discuz! X3.4 forum software and uses jQuery 1.11.0, with a moderate level of mobile optimization and SEO. The site content is rich with user-generated posts, images, and community engagement metrics, targeting interior designers and enthusiasts. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, indicating either an unregistered domain or a WHOIS server issue, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are found, and no explicit contact information is provided on the homepage.

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 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

The platform operates as a niche community and content sharing site focused on interior design, primarily serving a Chinese-speaking audience. Its business model revolves around user engagement, resource sharing, and community interaction. The presence of job postings and design courses suggests monetization through recruitment and educational services. The site links to related domains such as sj.com and sjlmweb.52o.site, indicating partnerships or related services. The lack of WHOIS data and absence of formal privacy and security policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. The platform appears to be medium-sized with consistent branding and good content quality.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a positive security indicator. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces its defense against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.0) introduces potential vulnerabilities. Forms lack visible CSRF tokens, and cookie security flags are not evident. No incident response or security policy information is available. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against attacks.
  4. Incorporate CSRF tokens in all forms and secure cookies with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite attributes.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Discuz! X3.4, a popular forum CMS, and uses jQuery 1.11.0 along with custom JavaScript and CSS. The site is served over HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers. The HTML structure is valid with meta tags for keywords and description, though SEO and accessibility features are basic. The site includes multiple user-generated content sections with images and metadata, indicating a dynamic content management system. Mobile optimization is basic, with some responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with no evident use of modern front-end frameworks or CDNs in the provided HTML. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries and missing security best practices.
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.
