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

Elementsapp.io is the official website for Elements, a macOS-based website builder developed by Realmac Software. The company targets professional and amateur Mac users who want to build modern, fast websites without coding. The product offers a rich set of built-in components, a developer API, cloud storage, and a marketplace for extensions, positioning itself as a niche but professional-grade tool in the macOS software market. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js and GSAP, Tailwind CSS for styling, and FastSpring for payment processing. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and reliability. Security posture is decent with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no visible contact information. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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

    • 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

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

Realmac Software operates in the technology sector focusing on macOS software products. Elements is a relatively new product (domain created in 2025) with a business model based on software sales via trial and purchase. The company leverages partnerships with FastSpring for payments and maintains a marketplace ecosystem for third-party extensions. The target market is Mac users seeking an easy yet powerful website builder. The company maintains consistent branding and regularly updates the product based on user feedback, indicating a customer-focused approach. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified for a small software company. The lack of direct contact info and policies on the website suggests room for improvement in customer support transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status flags prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity to secure DNS queries. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web attacks. The site uses reputable third-party services like FastSpring and Cloudflare, which enhance security and reliability. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, which limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. To improve, the company should enable DNSSEC, implement security headers, and publish security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add clear contact information including support and security incident contacts.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Alpine.js for UI interactivity, GSAP for animations, and Tailwind CSS for styling. It leverages the RapidWeaver Elements framework, which is specialized for macOS website building. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS with FastSpring handling e-commerce transactions. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the target audience, though there is room to improve security configurations and privacy compliance.
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.
