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

4 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

      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. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company leverages partnerships with Paddle.com for e-commerce payment processing and Reamaze for customer support chat, indicating a well-integrated service ecosystem. Their business model centers on software sales and support, with affiliate tracking and marketing tools in place to drive growth. The presence of VG WORT tracking suggests participation in copyright remuneration schemes, reflecting compliance with German legal requirements. The company targets a niche market of WordPress users seeking quality plugins, positioning itself as a trusted provider with a focus on customer service and multilingual support. Growth indicators include active use of analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Ads. The company maintains consistent branding and professional content, supporting a high trust level among its audience.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Use of Cloudflare provides DDoS protection, WAF capabilities, and CDN services, enhancing resilience against attacks. Cookie consent is managed comprehensively, supporting GDPR compliance. No critical security issues or vulnerabilities were identified in the analysis. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement to strengthen DNS security. Inline scripts could be further reviewed to tighten Content-Security-Policy enforcement. The absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page is noted, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small technology company, with recommendations to enhance DNS security and formalize security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Review and strengthen Content-Security-Policy to reduce inline script risks.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-maintained tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery. It uses WPBakery Page Builder and Ultimate VC Addons for content management and layout. Hosting behind Cloudflare provides CDN and security benefits. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and scripts, lazy loading, and caching mechanisms. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and font loading strategies. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema for organization and website. Accessibility is basic but functional. The technical infrastructure is solid for a small business, with opportunities to improve DNS security and CSP policies. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals effectively with good scalability and security.
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.
