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

Elegant Themes is a leading provider of WordPress themes and visual page builder technology, notably known for their flagship product Divi. The company serves a large community of nearly one million customers, targeting WordPress users including freelancers, agencies, and small business owners. Their business model centers on subscription-based access to themes, plugins, and related services, positioning them as a major player in the WordPress ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern web technologies including responsive design, SVG icons, and integration with payment systems such as Stripe. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, with a professional and consistent branding approach. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies were not detected in the provided content, which is an area for improvement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes some security best practices such as CSRF token placeholders, though no detailed security headers or policies were observed. The lack of public WHOIS data suggests privacy protection for domain registration, which is common for commercial entities. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, indicating a generally secure posture. Overall, Elegant Themes presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security header implementation would further enhance their security 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

4 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 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

Elegant Themes holds a strong market position as a top WordPress theme and page builder provider, with a broad product portfolio including Divi Theme & Builder, Divi Marketplace, Divi Cloud, and AI-powered tools. Their subscription-based business model generates recurring revenue streams targeting web designers, developers, agencies, and small business owners. The company benefits from a large, engaged customer base and a well-established brand in the WordPress community. Partnerships and integrations with hosting and payment providers support their ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation such as AI integration and team collaboration features. The absence of public WHOIS data is typical for privacy-conscious tech companies and does not detract from their legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices in place. However, the absence of visible security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and incomplete CSRF token implementation suggest room for improvement. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which are important for transparency and compliance. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HTTP Strict Transport Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Ensure CSRF tokens are properly generated and validated on all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern, responsive design using CSS Flexbox and SVG icons. It employs web fonts (Lato) and integrates payment processing likely via Stripe. The site loads efficiently with deferred CSS and optimized assets. Accessibility and SEO best practices are evident through semantic HTML and meta tags. However, hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, supporting a large user base and complex product offerings. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and privacy compliance to reduce technical debt and regulatory risk.
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.
