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

Fontshare is a free font distribution platform operated by the Indian Type Foundry, a well-established Indian typography company founded in 2003. The website offers a curated collection of quality fonts accessible to designers, developers, and general users. The platform positions itself as a niche provider focusing on free fonts with clear licensing information and font pairing suggestions. The domain is long-standing and hosted on AWS infrastructure, indicating a stable technical foundation. The site uses modern web technologies including Vue.js and JavaScript, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. However, the site lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, and does not provide explicit contact information or security policies, which impacts its privacy compliance and security posture. The absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in security best practices. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy 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 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 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

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

Fontshare operates in the technology sector, specifically in digital typography and font distribution. Its business model centers on providing free fonts to a global audience, leveraging the reputation of the Indian Type Foundry. The platform targets creative professionals and web developers seeking quality fonts without licensing costs. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding, which supports market credibility. While no direct revenue streams or partnerships are evident from the site content, the service likely supports brand awareness and potential upselling of premium fonts or services by Indian Type Foundry. The lack of detailed business contact information and policies may limit trust for enterprise clients but is typical for free service platforms. The site’s technical infrastructure is modern and scalable, hosted on AWS with multiple DNS servers, supporting reliable service delivery.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and the domain is protected with registrar-level EPP status codes preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided HTML. The site does not collect personal data via forms in the visible content, reducing immediate privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse email address to facilitate incident reporting and response.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, specifically Vue.js, and is hosted on AWS infrastructure with multiple DNS servers for redundancy. The site loads multiple JavaScript bundles and CSS files, indicating modular design. The HTML is well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and interactive font selection features. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading to improve initial render times. Accessibility features are basic but present. The lack of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in compliance and security areas. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
