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

Fontello.com is a specialized online tool that enables web developers and designers to create custom icon fonts by selecting icons from a large collection and generating webfont packs with ease. The website has been operational since 2012, indicating a stable presence in the niche of icon font generation. The technical infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Knockout.js and is hosted via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and availability. However, the site lacks formal privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as contact and incident response information, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are missing. Overall, the site is functional, safe, and serves a clear technical purpose but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security transparency.

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

9 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 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 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

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

Fontello operates as a small-scale technology service focused on providing a free utility for icon font generation. Its market position is niche, targeting web developers and designers who require custom icon fonts for their projects. The business model appears to be service-oriented without direct monetization visible on the site. The lack of contact information and formal business disclosures suggests a minimalistic operational approach. The domain age and stable hosting provider indicate reliability, but the absence of marketing, analytics, or advertising tools points to a low-profile digital presence. There are no identified partnerships or subsidiaries linked to the domain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain status includes clientTransferProhibited, which helps prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The site does not collect personal data via forms, reducing risk exposure. Overall, security practices are adequate but could be enhanced with additional measures and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and similar regulations.
  4. Add clear contact information and a security incident response policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and Knockout.js, indicating a dynamic and interactive user interface. Hosting is provided by Cloudflare, which offers performance benefits and DDoS protection. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized at a basic level. SEO and accessibility features are present but minimal. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The absence of analytics and advertising scripts indicates a privacy-conscious or minimalistic approach. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO for broader reach.
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.
