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

Ent Foundation operates the entgo.io website, which provides an open source entity framework (ORM) for the Go programming language. The website targets Go developers and software engineers seeking a powerful yet simple ORM solution. The project is positioned as a niche technology provider with a focus on schema modeling, graph traversal, and code generation. The business model is primarily open source with community and enterprise adoption. The website content is professional, well-structured, and supported by documentation and social media presence, indicating a mature digital footprint. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Docusaurus for documentation, JavaScript libraries like Clipboard.js, and Google Analytics for tracking. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by AWS DNS servers. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers are missing, and no cookie consent mechanism is implemented despite the presence of a cookie policy. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces the overall security maturity. Privacy compliance is basic, with privacy and cookie policies linked to Facebook Open Source legal pages, but no explicit GDPR compliance statements or consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional with a strong business credibility score. The main risks relate to incomplete security and privacy practices. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and cookie consent would enhance the security posture and compliance. The domain registration data aligns well with the website content, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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. 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"

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

Ent Foundation's entgo.io serves a specialized market of Go developers needing ORM solutions. The project leverages open source community engagement and GitHub as a key platform for collaboration and distribution. The business model is likely based on open source adoption with potential enterprise support or consulting. The company is small, founded in 2019, and based in Israel. The website's association with Facebook Open Source legal pages suggests a partnership or hosting arrangement, enhancing credibility. The target audience is technical and developer-centric, with a focus on schema as code, graph traversal, and static typing. The ecosystem includes social media channels like Twitter and Discord for community engagement. The lack of direct contact information on the site suggests a primarily community-driven support model. Overall, the company maintains a focused niche with a clear value proposition and a growing presence in the Go ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain has clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended DNS security enhancement. No security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, reducing avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager, which implies some user tracking but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were found, the security maturity can be improved by adopting recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the entgo.io domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  5. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Docusaurus v2.4.3, a modern static site generator optimized for documentation. It uses JavaScript libraries such as Clipboard.js for UI enhancements and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user analytics. Hosting is likely on AWS infrastructure, inferred from AWS DNS servers. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Performance is optimized with preloading and prefetching of scripts. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with responsive design and language attributes properly set. No CMS other than Docusaurus is detected. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated libraries. Overall, the technical implementation is modern, performant, and suitable for a developer-focused documentation site.
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.
