Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website e-mistic.org is a niche religious and software platform primarily focused on Orthodox Christian content, including apps like MicroSinaxar and BibleExplorer for Android. It provides informational content such as monastery maps, religious calendars, and sinaxar data. The site targets users interested in Orthodox Christianity and related software tools. The business model appears to be centered on providing free or downloadable religious software and informational resources, with a small market presence and limited commercial activity. Technically, the website is built using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern frameworks or CMS. Hosting is provided by Hosterion, with domain privacy protection enabled. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. There is no evidence of modern analytics or tracking tools. From a security perspective, the domain is long-established with privacy protection and clientTransferProhibited status, indicating some domain security awareness. However, the site lacks DNSSEC, security headers, HTTPS enforcement details, and published privacy or cookie policies, reflecting a low security and compliance maturity. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting trust and transparency. Overall, the website is functional and safe for general audiences but requires significant improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and business transparency to enhance trustworthiness and professional standing.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

e-mistic.org operates in a niche religious software and informational market, targeting Orthodox Christian users interested in digital tools and religious calendars. The business leverages downloadable Android apps and web content to serve its audience. The domain's long registration history supports a stable presence, but the use of privacy protection obscures direct business ownership details. The lack of contact information and compliance documentation suggests a small-scale operation with limited commercial ambitions. Partnerships with JetBrains and Jaguard are indicated via external links but appear to be unrelated service endorsements rather than formal partnerships. The business model is likely non-commercial or donation-supported, focusing on community service rather than revenue generation.

Security posture

The security posture of e-mistic.org is basic with several gaps. The domain is protected by clientTransferProhibited status but lacks DNSSEC, which could improve DNS security. No HTTPS enforcement or security headers are visible, exposing the site to potential man-in-the-middle risks and clickjacking. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting the ability to handle security incidents effectively. The site does not use modern security frameworks or certifications. Overall, the security maturity is low, posing moderate risk especially if personal data collection occurs in other parts of the site.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS resolution and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Provide clear contact information and establish an incident response contact channel.
  6. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  7. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience.
  8. Integrate basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage.
  9. Regularly audit and update software components to avoid vulnerabilities.
  10. Enhance branding consistency and professional design to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack consisting of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern frameworks or CMS. Hosting is provided by Hosterion, indicated by the nameservers. The site performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. There is no evidence of advanced SEO techniques or accessibility features. The site lacks HTTPS enforcement details and security headers, which are critical for modern web security. The downloadable Android apps are hosted on the same domain, which may require additional security considerations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and requires modernization to meet current web standards and security best practices.
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.
