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

The website craigross.net is a Japanese language affiliate marketing platform focused on facial hair removal and medical hair removal salons in Yokohama, Japan. It provides curated rankings and descriptions of local beauty salons, targeting primarily women interested in cosmetic treatments. The business model relies on affiliate links directing users to booking pages of recommended salons. The site is small scale, founded in 2020, and operates within the retail sector focused on beauty services. Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with a Japanese audience, using GMO Internet Group as registrar and xserver.jp for DNS. Performance and mobile optimization are basic but functional. SEO is minimally addressed with canonical tags and meta viewport settings. Security posture is limited; no security headers were detected, and no privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating low compliance with GDPR or similar regulations. The site uses HTTPS as indicated by canonical URLs but lacks advanced security configurations such as DNSSEC or CSP headers. Tracking is implemented via Research Artisan Pro analytics, with moderate user tracking but no visible consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is functional and relevant for its niche but lacks comprehensive privacy, security, and compliance features. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Craigross.net occupies a niche in the Japanese beauty affiliate market, focusing on facial and medical hair removal services in Yokohama. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, curated content with affiliate monetization. The business model is content-driven affiliate marketing, generating revenue through referrals to salon booking platforms. The target customers are Japanese-speaking women seeking cosmetic hair removal services. Growth potential depends on expanding content quality, SEO, and compliance to build trust and increase traffic. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliate networks such as t.afi-b.com. The site currently operates independently without visible parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is presumably enabled, but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security are present. There is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, nor any incident response or security contact information. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. Tracking scripts are present without visible consent mechanisms, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security incident response contact.
  5. Review and optimize mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, without use of a CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks. Hosting is via a Japanese provider with domain registration through GMO Internet Group. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. SEO is basic with canonical tags and viewport meta tags but lacks structured metadata beyond a simple breadcrumb JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal. The site uses an external analytics script (Research Artisan Pro) for tracking. There is no evidence of server-side technologies or APIs. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, compliance, and user experience.
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.
