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

The platform targets AI enthusiasts, developers, marketers, and businesses seeking AI solutions, positioning itself as a niche directory with affiliate marketing components. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Cloudflare DNS, ensuring a responsive and moderately performant user experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and form protections via Google reCAPTCHA, though it lacks advanced security headers and published security policies.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Dang.ai's business model centers on aggregating and curating AI tools, monetizing through affiliate links and advertising. The company is relatively new, with domain registration in early 2023 and privacy protection enabled. Its market positioning is as a comprehensive AI tools directory, catering to a growing demand for AI solutions discovery. The presence of social media engagement and categorized listings indicates a strategic approach to user acquisition and retention. However, the lack of detailed business information and contact emails limits transparency. The platform's partnerships appear limited to affiliate relationships, with no detected subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The domain uses privacy protection, which is justified for this business type. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be improved with enhanced headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain security.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and enhance user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Algolia Autocomplete for search functionality. It integrates analytics and user behavior tracking via Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting appears to be managed by Webflow with DNS through Cloudflare, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident through meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt is minimal, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce risks and improve 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.
