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

Fo.RU operates a website builder platform primarily targeting Russian-speaking individuals and small businesses seeking easy and affordable website creation solutions. The platform offers a variety of services including free hosting, SSL certificates, templates, and tools for business website creation and cloning. The domain is established with a 4-year history and is registered with a reputable registrar, indicating legitimacy. Technically, the website uses custom JavaScript and CSS, integrates Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika for user tracking, and provides a responsive and well-structured user experience. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security weakness, exposing users to potential risks. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanism despite active analytics tracking. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

6 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 business model is freemium, offering free website creation with paid tariff plans. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its simplicity, integrated analytics, and a broad template library. Target customers include individuals and small businesses in Russia. The company maintains a consistent brand and provides clear navigation and content relevant to its audience. Partnerships are evident with related domains under the fo.ru umbrella. Growth potential exists through enhanced security and privacy compliance, which would improve user trust and market positioning.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, absence of security headers, and missing DNS security features such as DNSSEC and DMARC. No incident response or security policies are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of third-party analytics without cookie consent raises privacy concerns. These gaps expose the platform and its users to risks including data interception and privacy violations. Immediate remediation is recommended to implement HTTPS, security headers, and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across all site pages.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Configure DNSSEC, DMARC, and CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent spoofing.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom-built platform with JavaScript and CSS, integrating Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika for analytics. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 4.7 seconds and a page size of 243 KB. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical deficiency. Hosting details are unclear, and no major CMS or frameworks are detected. The site structure and navigation are clear and user-friendly, supporting a good user experience.
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.
