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

Forecast7.com is a weather forecast website providing multi-language weather information including next 24 hours and 7 days forecasts. The site targets a general audience interested in weather updates and operates on a small scale with a business model likely supported by advertising. The domain was registered in 2016 and uses Cloudflare DNS services, indicating a stable technical infrastructure. The website employs Google Analytics for user tracking but lacks a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR compliance indicators. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and DNSSEC. No forms or direct contact emails are present on the homepage, with contact options available via a dedicated page. Overall, the site is functional but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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 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 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 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

The website occupies a niche in the weather forecast market, offering multi-language support to broaden its audience reach. Its business model appears to be advertising-supported, with no visible e-commerce or subscription services. The lack of detailed company information and contact data limits transparency but is typical for small-scale weather information providers. The site’s use of Google Analytics suggests an interest in user behavior analysis, though privacy compliance is minimal. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data. Growth potential may depend on improving trust signals and compliance.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration status prevents unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of Google Analytics without a cookie consent mechanism indicates a compliance gap with GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and privacy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technical stack with Cloudflare DNS and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and multi-language support. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. Hosting is likely via Cloudflare or a related provider. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms despite tracking scripts is a technical and compliance shortfall. Overall, the infrastructure is functional but could be modernized and hardened.
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.
