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

4 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 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 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Fontspring operates in the e-commerce sector focused on digital font licensing. Their competitive advantage lies in offering custom licensing options, perpetual licenses without usage trackers, and a strong affiliate program. Revenue streams include direct font sales, custom licenses, and enterprise font management services. The target customer segments include individual designers, creative agencies, and large enterprises. The company maintains partnerships with affiliate networks like CJ Affiliate and uses marketing tools to enhance reach. Growth indicators include new font releases, featured foundries, and curated collections. The company emphasizes customer support and licensing clarity, positioning itself as a reliable and customer-centric provider in the font licensing market.

Security posture

Fontspring demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF protection, and bot mitigation via Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates privacy awareness and GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is published. These gaps could impact incident response readiness and transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by formalizing security policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information for security and privacy inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

The website uses a modern JavaScript ES module-based frontend with preloading and modulepreload optimizations for performance. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing CDN and bot management capabilities. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics, Amplitude, Datadog, and Pipedrive LeadBooster chat, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Cookie consent is managed by CookieYes, supporting GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility 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.
