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

The business model centers on providing a comprehensive directory of AI tools with affiliate links to monetize traffic. The company leverages partnerships and affiliate programs to generate revenue. Its market position is that of a focused AI technology directory, catering to a growing demand for AI tools discovery. The use of privacy protection for domain registration is justified given the nature of the business. The platform integrates modern web technologies and analytics to optimize user engagement and marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, domain locked with multiple EPP status flags, and use of reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent abuse. Security headers are implied but not explicitly detailed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap. The domain lacks DNSSEC, which could be improved. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small tech directory but could benefit from enhanced compliance documentation and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to align with privacy regulations.
  3. Add terms of service and security policy pages to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  5. Provide direct contact information such as company email addresses for better business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Algolia Autocomplete, Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics, and Jetboost. Hosting is likely via Webflow with Cloudflare DNS services. The site is mobile optimized with good performance and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, responsive user experience with integrated analytics and marketing tools. No technical debt or major risks were identified, though improvements in accessibility and compliance documentation are recommended.
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.
