Risk levelMedium

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

The website fedipact.online serves as a community-driven platform advocating for Fediverse instance administrators and moderators to block Meta-owned instances, specifically targeting the project92 threat. It operates as a niche initiative within the decentralized social media ecosystem, providing a list of participating admins and a mechanism to sign a pact via an external cryptpad form. The site is simple in design and content, focusing on community coordination rather than commercial activity. Technically, the website is built with standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without reliance on major frameworks or CMS platforms. Hosting appears to be through Namecheap, consistent with the domain registration data. The site demonstrates basic mobile optimization and accessibility but lacks advanced SEO and performance optimizations. No analytics or advertising technologies are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site lacks important security headers and does not enable DNSSEC, which could be improved to enhance domain and site security. There is no published privacy, cookie, or terms of service policy, which limits compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Contact information is minimal but present, including an email address and a Mastodon handle for communication. Overall, the website is functional and serves its community purpose but would benefit from improved security practices, privacy compliance, and more professional content presentation to enhance trust and credibility.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

    • 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

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

Fedipact.online positions itself as a grassroots community initiative within the Fediverse, targeting a specific threat from Meta-owned instances. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused advocacy and manual vetting of participating instances. The business model is non-commercial, relying on voluntary participation from instance admins and moderators. The target audience is highly specialized, consisting of Fediverse community leaders and technical moderators. Growth indicators are limited but the site maintains active calls for new signatories. Partnerships appear informal, with no commercial partners or subsidiaries identified. The site’s operations are transparent but lack formal business structure or revenue streams.

Security posture

The security maturity of fedipact.online is basic. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents gaps that could expose users to certain risks. The site uses HTTPS (implied by the URL) but no explicit enforcement or HSTS is noted. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting preparedness for security events. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security culture appears informal, consistent with a community project rather than a commercial entity. Compliance with GDPR is minimal due to lack of privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Enhance website design and navigation for better user experience and professionalism.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) without use of modern frameworks or CMS platforms. Hosting is via Namecheap, with DNS servers pointing to registrar-managed servers. The site loads moderate content with simple styling and animations. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. No advanced SEO techniques or accessibility features beyond basic responsive design are present. No third-party analytics or advertising scripts are included, reducing privacy concerns but also limiting insights into user behavior. The site could benefit from modernization including performance optimization and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
