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

Ecere Corporation operates the website ec-lang.org, which promotes the eC programming language and the Ecere SDK. The site targets software developers interested in a C-style object-oriented programming language with cross-platform capabilities. The business is small and technology-focused, with a niche market position. The website provides extensive sample code and links to a GitHub repository, indicating active development and community engagement. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including JavaScript, jQuery, Google Analytics, and Facebook SDK, hosted via NameCheap. The site is accessible and functional but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; the domain registration is legitimate and consistent, but DNSSEC is not enabled and no security headers are present. Privacy compliance is poor due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and no visible contact information for data protection or incident response. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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
  • 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

Ecere Corporation's market positioning is as a niche provider of a specialized programming language and SDK, targeting developers who require a C-style object-oriented language with native compilation and cross-platform support. The business model appears to be open source or community-driven software development, with key services including language development and SDK provision. The company maintains a GitHub presence, indicating transparency and community involvement. There is no evidence of revenue streams or commercial offerings on the site. The target customer segment is technical users and developers. Growth indicators are limited from the site content. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. Strategic observations suggest focusing on improving compliance and security to enhance trust and adoption.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The domain is registered with a reputable registrar and has clientTransferProhibited status, which protects against unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. The website lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or HSTS headers in the provided data, which is a critical gap if HTTPS is not properly configured. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated, as no security contact information or abuse emails are provided. Overall, the security culture appears minimal and would benefit from formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and enforce HTTPS with proper SSL/TLS configuration and HSTS headers.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom-built structure with standard web technologies including JavaScript, jQuery, Google Analytics, and Facebook SDK. The hosting provider is NameCheap, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. The absence of a CMS suggests a lightweight and possibly manually maintained site. The extensive sample code demonstrates technical depth but also indicates potential for modernization by adopting modern frameworks or static site generators. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and no visible HTTPS enforcement, which could impact business operations if exploited.
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.
