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 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

    • 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company positions itself as a niche leader in coworking space literature and community engagement, leveraging a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and a global network of coworking professionals. Revenue streams include book sales, subscriptions to the Coworkies Readers Club, event ticket sales, and consulting services. The target market includes coworking space operators, entrepreneurs, architects, and educational institutions. The partnership with twofifty.co expands service offerings into workshops and retreats. The business shows strong branding consistency, positive customer feedback, and a clear value proposition emphasizing knowledge sharing and community building.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and integrates secure payment processing through Stripe. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the business to regulatory risks in jurisdictions like the EU.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding clear company phone contact information to improve customer trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Fonts and third-party services like Stripe for payments and Hotjar for analytics. The use of JSON-LD structured data is extensive and well-implemented, enhancing SEO and rich snippet eligibility. The site is mobile-optimized and loads quickly, providing a good user experience. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but DNS uses NS1 name servers. No CMS or framework is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The technical implementation is robust with minor opportunities for security header enhancements.
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.
