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 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The company operates in the technology sector with a SaaS business model focused on content curation and automation. Founded in 2015, it serves diverse sectors including marketing, education, and real estate. The platform offers multiple key services such as webpages, email newsletters, RSS widgets, and social bio links. The domain is privacy protected but consistent with a legitimate business. The marketing ecosystem includes Google Analytics and FirstPromoter for tracking and affiliate marketing. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with consistent branding and good content quality, though explicit contact and compliance information is limited in the provided data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and is hosted on AWS infrastructure, which is positive. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided content, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, and no security.txt file was found. Tracking scripts are present, indicating moderate user tracking. The absence of privacy and cookie policies reduces privacy compliance scores. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Provide explicit contact information including security and support emails to enhance trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS and hosted on AWS, leveraging modern web fonts and JavaScript libraries including Google Analytics and Lottie animations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern and well integrated, but the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. The site is well structured and professionally designed, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
