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

Fediverse.Party is a specialized informational website dedicated to guiding users through the world of federated, decentralized social networks. It promotes free and autonomous social media platforms that operate without ads or algorithms, targeting users interested in privacy and open-source social networking. The site offers curated information about various federated apps and servers, serving as a community resource rather than a commercial enterprise. Technically, the site is built using the Hexo static site generator, delivering a clean, mobile-optimized experience with moderate performance. HTTPS is enforced, but some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers are missing. The site does not provide privacy or cookie policies, nor does it disclose contact or incident response information, which limits its privacy compliance and security transparency. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy within its niche but could improve in compliance and security posture.

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 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

The website occupies a niche position as a guide and portal for federated social media platforms, appealing to privacy-conscious users and advocates of decentralized networks. Its business model is informational and community-driven, without evident monetization or advertising. The site leverages partnerships or references to multiple federated platforms but does not appear to have formal partnerships or subsidiaries. The domain age and registration details support legitimacy, though privacy protection is used, consistent with the site's privacy focus. The lack of contact information and formal policies suggests a small-scale operation, likely run by an individual or small team. Growth potential lies in expanding content, adding community features, and improving compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain status prevents unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no HTTP security headers are detected, which could expose users to certain risks. The absence of privacy, cookie, and incident response policies reduces transparency and compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, which is positive for user privacy. The site lacks contact channels for security incidents, which is a gap in incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but should be enhanced to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Hexo, a static site generator, which contributes to good performance and security by minimizing server-side processing. The tech stack includes modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. However, the hosting provider is not explicitly identified beyond DNS servers, and no advanced frameworks or platforms are detected. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or third-party dependencies. The site lacks advanced SEO structured data like JSON-LD but includes Open Graph and Twitter card metadata. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve user trust.
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.
