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

cyberpunk.lol is a small independent Mastodon social media instance launched in late 2023, focused on fostering a cyberpunk-themed community within the Fediverse. It offers decentralized social networking services powered by the Glitch-soc fork of Mastodon, emphasizing community moderation, content warnings, and inclusivity. The platform targets adult users, enforcing an 18+ age restriction and detailed content policies to maintain a safe environment. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including React and ES modules, hosted by fedi.monster, a known Fediverse hosting provider. While performance and mobile optimization are good, accessibility and SEO are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent or terms of service. Overall, the site demonstrates a credible and community-focused operation with room for improvement in security and compliance.

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.

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 as a community-driven social media platform within the decentralized Fediverse ecosystem, leveraging open-source Mastodon software. Its business model relies on voluntary donations and community support, with no advertising or monetization detected. The target audience is adults interested in cyberpunk culture and decentralized social networking. The platform maintains a clear code of conduct and moderation team, enhancing trust and safety. Partnerships with cybersyndicate.info and sister instances like cyberpunk.gay indicate a small but connected ecosystem. The transparent WHOIS registration and hosting by fedi.monster support legitimacy. Growth potential is limited by the niche focus and small user base (~100 active users).

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS and domain transfer lock, reducing common risks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS weakens defenses against certain attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The platform's moderation policies and content warnings contribute to community safety. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy compliance gaps include missing cookie consent and terms of service. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small community instance but should be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to harden web security.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish clear terms of service to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Establish and publicize an incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack using the Glitch-soc fork of Mastodon, React framework, and ES modules for JavaScript. Hosting is provided by fedi.monster, specialized in Fediverse services. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO features. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or specialized platform. The site uses multiple favicon and apple-touch-icon sizes for device compatibility. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO improvements.
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.
