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

The website dizzard.net is a personal portfolio and blog belonging to Maxwell Omdal, focusing on maker culture, woodworking, resource sharing, and technology projects. It serves as a platform to showcase articles and projects, targeting makers, hobbyists, and technology enthusiasts. The site is well designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, providing relevant and quality content for its niche audience. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as Tailwind CSS, Font Awesome, and GoatCounter analytics, hosted with a reputable registrar and DNS provider. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections like clientDeleteProhibited, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is minimal with no privacy or cookie policies present. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and professional but could improve in privacy and security policy transparency.

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

This personal website operates as a small-scale content platform and portfolio for Maxwell Omdal, with no commercial business model evident. The market positioning is niche, appealing to maker communities and technology hobbyists. The site leverages social media and GitHub for professional presence and community engagement. There are no indications of partnerships, subsidiaries, or formal business entities. The content is regularly updated with articles and projects dating back to 2020, indicating ongoing activity and growth. Revenue streams or monetization are not apparent. The site’s ecosystem is self-contained with external links primarily to social profiles and project repositories.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, it lacks DNSSEC, which could enhance DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contacts. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. The use of GoatCounter analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update security practices to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Tailwind CSS for styling and Font Awesome for icons. It is a static or custom-built site without a CMS, hosted under a domain registered with Squarespace Domains II LLC and DNS managed via Google Domains nameservers. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, and accessibility is basic but functional. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Analytics are handled by GoatCounter, a privacy-focused service. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security headers to enhance overall technical quality.
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.
