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

CreateJS is a well-established suite of JavaScript libraries and tools designed to facilitate the creation of rich interactive content using HTML5 technologies. Sponsored by gskinner.com, inc., the platform targets developers and digital content creators seeking modular, interoperable solutions for animation, audio, asset loading, and sprite sheet generation. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with comprehensive technical content and community engagement channels, positioning it as a reputable player in the HTML5 development ecosystem. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Adobe Typekit fonts, hosted on DreamHost infrastructure. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain status locks in place; however, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents areas for improvement. Privacy and cookie policies are notably absent, which may impact compliance and user trust. Security evaluation reveals no blocking mechanisms or WAF interference, allowing full content access. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's branding and business history, indicating legitimacy and stable domain management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the lack of explicit security policies and incident response contacts suggests room for maturity in security governance. Overall, CreateJS presents a trustworthy and technically sound platform with excellent content quality and business credibility. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response transparency would further strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

8 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

CreateJS operates as an open-source technology provider specializing in JavaScript libraries for HTML5 content creation. Its market positioning is strong within the developer community, supported by integration with Adobe Animate and active community forums. The business model centers on providing free, modular tools with sponsorship from gskinner.com, inc., targeting developers building interactive web experiences and HTML5 ads. The presence of multiple partner and community domains reflects a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent updates and active GitHub repositories. The company maintains a small size with a focused technology sector presence and no detected subsidiaries.

Security posture

The security maturity of CreateJS is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes protective status flags, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing risks. The website lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are best practices for mitigating common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, limiting transparency and preparedness. No forms or sensitive data collection points reduce attack surface, but the overall security governance could be enhanced to align with industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish and publicize a security policy and incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Add accessibility improvements to enhance usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript stack with libraries such as jQuery and CreateJS core libraries, hosted on DreamHost. It uses Adobe Typekit for fonts and integrates Google Analytics and Twitter widgets for analytics and social media engagement. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and is mobile-optimized. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC suggests opportunities for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
