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

5 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Fort Awesome occupies a niche market within the web development ecosystem, focusing on iconography and CSS tools. Its business model revolves around providing digital assets and toolkits that improve website aesthetics and performance. The company leverages partnerships with CDN providers and analytics platforms to optimize delivery and user insights. While the site lacks extensive contact information and physical presence details, it maintains professional branding and clear legal documentation, supporting its credibility. The presence of tracking and marketing tools indicates an active approach to user engagement and product improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable third-party services such as Stripe for payments and Mixpanel for analytics. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and a published security policy or incident response plan represents areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the accessible content. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts may pose compliance risks under privacy regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for enhancement in transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

Fort Awesome's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing multiple CDNs (Cloudfront, MaxCDN) and JavaScript libraries for analytics and optimization (Mixpanel, Google Analytics, Optimizely). The site is performant and mobile-optimized with good design quality and navigation clarity. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or static site architecture. The use of Stripe.js indicates readiness for secure payment processing. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and SEO optimization. Overall, the technical implementation supports a positive user experience and reliable service delivery.
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.
