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

The DIY HRT Directory 2.0 is a niche informational website dedicated to providing transgender individuals with comprehensive guidance on safely performing DIY hormone replacement therapy. It offers specialized resources including transfeminine and transmasculine guides, telehealth and informed consent information, blood testing advice, and safe injection supply locations. The website operates as a non-commercial directory without selling products or services, targeting a sensitive and underserved community. The domain is relatively new, registered in 2022, and uses privacy protection likely justified by the nature of its content and audience. Technically, the site is built using modern static site generation technology (Astro) and leverages Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, resulting in fast performance and good mobile optimization. The site includes accessibility and SEO best practices, with clear navigation and a professional design. However, it lacks some security headers and does not have DNSSEC enabled, which could be improved. The site uses minimal analytics via Cloudflare Insights, with no intrusive tracking detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. No forms collect sensitive data, reducing risk exposure. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. The WHOIS data shows privacy protection but no suspicious patterns, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is a trustworthy, well-constructed resource with good content quality and technical implementation but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security policies to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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. 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

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 website occupies a specialized niche in the healthcare sector, focusing on transgender DIY hormone replacement therapy guidance. Its business model is informational and non-commercial, relying on providing free resources rather than monetization. The target audience is transgender individuals who face barriers accessing traditional HRT services. The site’s competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive, community-focused content and emphasis on safety and informed consent. The use of a privacy-protected domain and ProtonMail contact reflects sensitivity to user privacy. Growth potential may be limited by the niche focus but is supported by the increasing demand for accessible transgender healthcare information. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified, and the site maintains a lean operational footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No forms or inputs collect sensitive data, minimizing attack surface. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is appropriate given the sensitive nature of the content. Analytics usage is minimal and privacy-respecting. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the site is secure for informational use but should enhance security headers and compliance documentation to strengthen trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance statements to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security or incident response page with contact information for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  5. Consider adding accessibility audits and enhancements to further improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Astro, a modern static site generator, combined with the Starlight UI framework, resulting in a performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible site. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site uses minimal JavaScript and no heavy third-party libraries, contributing to fast load times. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or dynamic backend detected, reducing complexity and attack surface. The site lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, efficient, and well-suited for the site’s informational purpose.
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.
