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

Duplicator.com is the official website for Duplicator Pro, a leading WordPress backup and migration plugin trusted by over 1.5 million users worldwide. The company, Snap Creek LLC, offers a comprehensive suite of services including secure backups, one-click recovery points, multisite support, and cloud storage integrations. The website positions itself strongly in the WordPress plugin market with a focus on ease of use, reliability, and performance. The business model is primarily SaaS-based with plugin sales and an affiliate program to drive growth. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, and integrations with analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, MonsterInsights, and Stripe for payments. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices. The presence of multiple trust badges and social media channels further enhances its digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses domain locking statuses, and encrypts backups with AES-256. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no visible cookie consent mechanism despite extensive tracking scripts, which may pose compliance risks. The absence of a public security policy or incident response information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, duplicator.com is a professional, trustworthy, and technically sound website with strong business credibility. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further enhance its risk posture and user trust.

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

5 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 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 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

  3. 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

Duplicator.com holds a strong market position as a top WordPress backup and migration solution with over 1.5 million users and thousands of positive reviews. Its business model leverages direct plugin sales, cloud integrations, and an affiliate program to expand reach. The target customers include business owners, developers, and marketers who require reliable WordPress site management tools. Partnerships with companies like Awesome Motive and endorsements from WPBeginner strengthen its ecosystem. The company has a mature domain and consistent branding, indicating stable operations and growth potential.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, domain registration protections, and encrypted backup features. The use of security plugins and best practices in code and infrastructure is evident. However, the lack of DNSSEC and visible cookie consent mechanisms are notable gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan limits transparency and may affect user confidence in handling security incidents. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced compliance and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy/security contact to improve trust.

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.
