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

The website dibi.nette.org presents Dibi, a smart database abstraction library for PHP, authored by David Grudl. It targets PHP developers seeking a secure and efficient database layer, especially those using the Nette Framework. The site offers comprehensive technical documentation, code examples, and community resources, positioning itself as a niche but well-regarded open source project within the PHP ecosystem. The hosting is provided by CESNET, indicating a reliable infrastructure. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including PHP 8.0+, JavaScript ES modules, Algolia search, and Google Analytics for tracking. The design is professional, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with clear navigation and rich content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and promotes secure coding practices, though it lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust verification, but the site’s branding and community presence support legitimacy.

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

6 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 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. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Dibi operates as an open source software project with a focus on PHP database abstraction. Its market position is specialized, serving developers and technical teams within the PHP and Nette Framework communities. The business model relies on community engagement, sponsorships, and donations rather than direct commercial sales. The project benefits from integration with the broader Nette ecosystem and maintains a presence on GitHub and social platforms. Growth indicators include active documentation updates and community extensions. Partnerships with Nette and CESNET hosting enhance credibility. The absence of direct contact information and privacy policies suggests an area for improvement in business transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. It uses HTTPS and encourages secure database query practices to prevent SQL injection. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not provide explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust verification. Overall, the site is secure for informational and developer use but could improve transparency and compliance with privacy and security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and accurate.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including PHP 8.0+, JavaScript ES modules, and integrates with the Nette Framework. It uses Composer for package management and Algolia for search functionality. Google Analytics is employed for user tracking with anonymized IPs. Hosting is provided by CESNET, a reputable e-infrastructure provider. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible with good SEO practices. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or framework-based implementation. Technical debt appears low, but improvements could be made in security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
