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

DOC is a specialized editorial platform focused on design, user experience, and product making, targeting professionals and enthusiasts in the design community. It operates as a content publishing platform with a strong association to the UX Collective, enhancing its credibility and market position within the design media sector. The website offers articles, series, and newsletters, serving a niche audience interested in thoughtful design discourse. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and uses Prismic CMS, ensuring a performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. The integration of Google Analytics indicates moderate user tracking for analytics purposes. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, but lacks published security policies or incident response information, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, posing a compliance risk. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-branded but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

DOC positions itself as a niche media outlet within the design and UX community, leveraging its relationship with UX Collective to build authority. Its business model centers on editorial content and community engagement through newsletters and social media. The platform targets design professionals and product makers seeking meaningful insights. The lack of physical address or phone contact suggests a primarily digital operation. The presence of multiple social media channels and external partnerships indicates a well-connected ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding content offerings and improving compliance to meet regulatory standards. The company maintains a small but focused operational size, with no subsidiaries detected.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and common security headers present, reducing risks from common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. The site does not provide a security.txt file or dedicated security contact channels, which are recommended best practices. Privacy compliance gaps, such as missing cookie consent and privacy policies, also represent potential regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in policy transparency and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels for reporting issues.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js and Nuxt.js frameworks, supported by Prismic CMS for content management. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with preloading of critical scripts and optimized images. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility considerations are evident in semantic HTML and responsive design. Google Analytics is used for user tracking, indicating moderate data collection practices. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of CDN and Prismic suggests a cloud-based infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is robust, modern, and well-maintained.
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.
