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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 utility market offering free file conversion tools, which appeals to a broad audience including casual users and professionals needing quick format changes. Its multilingual partner sites suggest a strategy to capture diverse language markets. The absence of direct contact information or detailed company data limits transparency but is typical for free tool sites. The reliance on advertising indicates a low barrier to entry business model with potential scalability through traffic growth. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple localized domains, enhancing reach and SEO.

Security posture

The site uses HTTPS and modern JavaScript libraries, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which impacts trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing standard security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve privacy compliance scores.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance contact information availability, including company contact emails and phone numbers, to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of HTML5, Bootstrap 3.4.1, jQuery, and Font Awesome 4.0.3, with file upload functionality powered by plupload. It leverages Google Analytics and Google Adsense for analytics and monetization, respectively. Assets are served partially via AWS CloudFront CDN, improving performance and availability. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. However, it lacks advanced accessibility features and some modern security best practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and security hardening.
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.
