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

crimew.gay is a small, community-driven Fediverse instance operated by an individual named Maia. It provides a social networking platform based on the Pleroma software, targeting users interested in a curated and moderated federated social experience. The instance emphasizes active moderation and federation policies to maintain community standards. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is mobile optimized, though it lacks some advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. The domain is relatively new, registered in 2022 with privacy protection, which is appropriate for this type of community service. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved with DNSSEC and additional headers. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy policies and contact transparency.

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

6 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

  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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 instance operates in the technology sector, specifically within decentralized social networking. It serves a niche audience of Fediverse users seeking a small, well-moderated community. The business model appears non-commercial and community-focused, with no evident revenue streams or advertising. The detailed federation block lists indicate a strong stance on content moderation and community safety. The lack of formal business information and contact details suggests a personal or small-scale operation rather than a corporate entity. The instance's market position is that of a specialized social platform within the broader Fediverse ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The instance actively manages federation policies to block or quarantine problematic instances, demonstrating a proactive security culture. Compliance with GDPR or other privacy regulations is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response mechanisms and security contact channels are not publicly documented, which is a gap in readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts for incident response.
  5. Regularly audit federation policies and update blocklists to maintain community safety.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Pleroma platform, using modern JavaScript and CSS frameworks. It serves a small user base with a focus on federated social networking. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. The site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and accessibility features but maintains a clean and functional design. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain is registered with a reputable registrar and uses privacy protection. There is no evidence of third-party advertising or tracking technologies, which aligns with the community-focused nature of the instance. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
