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

Cursor Directory is a niche technology community platform focused on providing a comprehensive directory of Cursor rules, MCP servers, job listings, and member profiles. The platform targets developers and Cursor users seeking to enhance their workflows and connect with like-minded professionals. The website leverages modern web technologies including React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, hosted on Vercel, ensuring a fast and responsive user experience. Despite its recent domain registration in 2024, the platform presents a professional and consistent brand image with a clear focus on developer tools and community engagement. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced DNS security features like DNSSEC and does not currently publish privacy or cookie policies, which impacts compliance and trust. No blocking or WAF mechanisms interfere with content accessibility. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and well-structured for its target audience.

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 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

    • 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

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 business operates as a community-driven directory and resource hub for Cursor users, offering curated rules, MCP server listings, and job opportunities. Its business model appears to be content and community-centric, potentially monetizing through partnerships or job listings. The platform's market position is specialized within the developer tools ecosystem, focusing on Cursor users. The absence of detailed business contact information and policies suggests an early-stage or lean operation. The presence of multiple external links to partner or related services indicates an ecosystem approach. Growth indicators include active job postings and member engagement features. Strategic partnerships with MCP providers and job platforms could enhance its market reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and is registered with a reputable registrar. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could leave the site vulnerable to common web attacks such as clickjacking or MIME sniffing. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and readiness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear incident response and security contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used and maintain secure form handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js frameworks, styled with Tailwind CSS and Shadcn UI components, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. Hosting on Vercel provides scalable and performant infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of Supabase for storage and integration with external MCP servers and job platforms shows a well-integrated ecosystem. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and preloading of fonts and assets. Technical risks include the lack of DNSSEC and missing 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.
