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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…

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

Craft CMS has established itself since 2013 as a specialized CMS provider with a cloud hosting platform that integrates tightly with its CMS product. The business model is SaaS-based, focusing on hosting Craft CMS projects with developer-friendly features such as Git integration and CLI commands. Pricing tiers cater to small teams, professional businesses, and enterprises, with clear differentiation in features and asset storage. The company maintains a consistent brand presence across multiple social media platforms and offers extensive resources and documentation, indicating a mature ecosystem. No direct contact information is provided on the analyzed page, suggesting a focus on self-service and online engagement. The domain registration and DNS setup reflect professional management consistent with the business claims.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates enterprise-grade firewall and DDoS protections as part of its hosting offering. Cookie consent is implemented with an opt-in mechanism compliant with GDPR. Error monitoring is handled via Sentry with selective error ignoring to reduce noise. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published on the analyzed page, which is a gap in transparency. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved to enhance DNS security. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from publishing more explicit security documentation and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to HTTP responses.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.

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.
