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

EntityWiki is a small, open-source, community-driven online encyclopedia focused on entity-centric knowledge to enhance semantic understanding and SEO. It leverages MediaWiki technology and is hosted on A2 Hosting. The website provides structured content curated by volunteers with a neutrality policy, targeting a general audience interested in comprehensive entity information. Technically, the site uses standard MediaWiki infrastructure with Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The domain is privacy protected but consistent with the website's new founding date in 2023. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in DNSSEC, security headers, and privacy compliance. Overall, the site is accessible, functional, and provides valuable content but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

5 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

EntityWiki operates in the niche of entity-centric encyclopedias, positioning itself as a resource to aid search engines like Google in understanding entities and their relationships. Its open-source and volunteer-driven model suggests limited commercial intent but strong community engagement. The business model relies on content contributions and SEO relevance rather than direct monetization. The lack of contact information and formal business details indicates a non-commercial or early-stage project. The use of privacy protection for domain registration is typical for small projects. The site’s partnerships or related domains are not evident, and it primarily integrates with Google services for analytics.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has a domain status of clientTransferProhibited, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduces its security maturity. No incident response or security policy is published, and no contact channels for security issues are provided. The use of third-party tracking scripts without a cookie consent mechanism raises privacy compliance concerns. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and publish a comprehensive cookie policy to improve privacy compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on MediaWiki 1.39.1, a mature and widely used wiki platform. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking. Hosting is provided by A2 Hosting with multiple authoritative name servers. The site loads quickly with minimal CPU usage reported. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. SEO is supported through structured content and entity-centric design. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. The site does not implement advanced privacy or security frameworks, and no forms collecting personal data are present on the main page.
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.
