FarkFiction.net is a small niche media website dedicated to promoting fiction anthologies related to the Fark community. It operates primarily as a content promotion platform linking to Amazon for anthology sales. The website is modest in design and content, lacking advanced technical features or comprehensive business information. The technical infrastructure is basic, built with simple HTML and CSS, and hosted on ipower.com. There is no evidence of modern CMS or analytics tools, and mobile optimization is poor. Security posture is minimal with no HTTPS enforcement visible in the provided data and absence of key security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, and no contact or incident response information is provided, indicating low privacy compliance and limited user trust signals. Overall, the site is functional but basic, with moderate trustworthiness based on domain registration data and content relevance.

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
10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The website targets readers and writers interested in fiction anthologies, particularly those connected to the Fark community. Its business model revolves around promoting anthologies and driving sales through Amazon affiliate links. The market position is niche and community-focused without official affiliation to Fark, Inc. Revenue streams likely come from affiliate commissions. The site lacks visible partnerships beyond Amazon and does not provide detailed business or contact information, limiting transparency. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not evident from the content. The site’s operations appear small scale and hobbyist in nature.
Security posture
The security maturity level of the website is low. There is no HTTPS enforcement detected, no DNSSEC enabled, and no advanced security headers implemented. The domain status clientTransferProhibited provides some protection against unauthorized transfers. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published. The absence of contact information and security policies suggests limited readiness for incident handling or compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. The site does not collect user data via forms or analytics, reducing exposure but also limiting user engagement and trust.
Recommendations
Enable HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections and improve trust.
Publish privacy and cookie policies to comply with data protection regulations and inform users.
Add contact information and incident response details to enhance transparency and security readiness.
Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses basic HTML and CSS generated by Google Web Designer 2.0.5.0124, with no detected CMS or JavaScript frameworks. Hosting is provided by ipower.com. The site lacks modern technical features such as responsive design, accessibility enhancements, and SEO optimizations beyond basic meta tags. Performance is moderate but could be improved with optimization. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers represents technical debt and security risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is simple and functional but outdated and lacking in modern web standards.
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.
