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

The website derg.rest is a personal site representing an aspiring master electrician named Tom Darsonian based in Michigan, USA. The site serves primarily as a personal portfolio or presence with minimal content focused on personal interests and updates. The business is small-scale and newly established, as indicated by the domain registration date in early 2024. The site lacks formal business contact information, privacy policies, and terms of service, which limits its professional and compliance posture. Technically, the site is simple, built with basic HTML and CSS, and uses Cloudflare for DNS services. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. Performance is moderate with no visible errors or broken elements. However, security measures are minimal; no security headers or DNSSEC are enabled, and HTTPS enforcement is not confirmed from the data provided. From a security perspective, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate with appropriate domain status protections. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers reduces the overall security and privacy compliance score. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. The site content is safe for general audiences with no adult or explicit material. Overall, the site scores moderately on AI evaluation, with strengths in business credibility due to consistent WHOIS data and weaknesses in privacy compliance and security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policies, and contact information would enhance trust 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.

Priority findings

9 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      • 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

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 behind derg.rest is a small personal brand for an electrician in Michigan, operating under the legal entity Private by Design, LLC. The market positioning is that of an aspiring master electrician building an online presence. The business model appears to be informational and portfolio-based rather than transactional. There are no visible revenue streams or partnerships indicated on the site. The target audience is local or general visitors interested in the electrician's updates and content. The lack of formal business contact details and policies suggests an early-stage or hobbyist approach rather than a fully commercial operation. No strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are identified.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is low to moderate. The domain registration includes protections against unauthorized transfer and deletion, which is positive. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and privacy policies indicates gaps in security best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The site does not collect user data via forms or analytics, reducing exposure but also limiting user engagement. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or advanced security frameworks. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing standard security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a clear privacy policy and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish contact information including email and phone to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Consider HTTPS enforcement and visible SSL indicators to assure visitors of secure connections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS without any detected CMS or JavaScript frameworks. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare DNS, but no further hosting details are available. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level with some CSS media queries. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags but no Open Graph or structured data. Performance is moderate with no visible errors. The technical stack is simple and low risk but lacks modern enhancements and security features. There is an opportunity to modernize with improved accessibility, SEO, and security configurations.
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.
