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

The website essd2019.org is a Japanese language affiliate marketing platform focused on providing rankings and recommendations for hair removal salons and medical hair removal clinics in the Tennoji area of Osaka, Japan. It targets local consumers seeking convenient and effective hair removal services, leveraging affiliate links to monetize referrals. The site content is basic but relevant, with a focus on local salon features and promotional offers. Technically, the site is built with standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, hosted on Xserver in Japan. It uses a third-party analytics service (Research Artisan Pro) for user tracking. The site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS detection and shows basic mobile optimization and SEO practices. No forms for data collection are present except a menu toggle checkbox. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and privacy or cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. The domain is privacy protected but consistent with the site's Japanese focus and business type. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, but security posture is basic and could be improved. Overall, the site is a small niche affiliate marketing site with moderate business credibility but limited privacy and security features. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 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 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

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 site operates as a niche affiliate marketing business targeting the local hair removal market in Tennoji, Osaka. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content and curated salon rankings. Revenue is likely generated through affiliate commissions from salon referrals. The target customers are local consumers interested in hair removal services. The business model is content-driven affiliate marketing with no direct service provision. Growth potential depends on expanding content and affiliate partnerships. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliate networks such as afi-b.com. The site’s operations are small scale and focused on local market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low to moderate security maturity level. It lacks essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of privacy protection for WHOIS is appropriate but limits transparency. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The site uses HTTPS (assumed) but no enforcement or HSTS detected. The tracking scripts indicate moderate user tracking without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to meet modern compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including a security incident response contact or abuse email.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  5. Review and minimize user tracking to align with privacy best practices and disclose data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a simple technology stack using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without a detectable CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting is provided by Xserver in Japan, indicated by the nameservers. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for breadcrumbs, aiding SEO. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. The site uses third-party analytics and affiliate marketing scripts. There is no evidence of modern frontend frameworks or backend technologies. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS enforcement, improving accessibility, and enhancing SEO metadata.
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.
