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

Friconix is a specialized provider of free and beautiful vector icons, offering a large searchable collection of icons in multiple formats such as SVG, PNG, and JPG. The website targets web developers, designers, and content creators who need high-quality icons for their projects. The business operates on a free resource model with optional user accounts to save icon boards, positioning itself as a niche player in the icon resource market. Technically, the website employs a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1, jQuery, and various third-party ad and analytics services such as Google Analytics, Criteo, and Moneytizer. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices, although performance is moderate due to multiple external scripts and ad networks. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie policy and consent mechanism, but no explicit privacy policy page was found. Contact information is limited to a contact form and login modal; no direct emails or phone numbers are published. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional with moderate security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy documentation would enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Friconix operates in the technology sector, specifically providing free vector icons for digital projects. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a large, customizable icon set with easy embedding and download options. The business model is primarily free access with user accounts for enhanced features. The target customers are developers and designers seeking quality icons. The site shows growth potential through partnerships with various external websites that rely on its icons. The partnership ecosystem includes diverse domains from different sectors, indicating broad adoption. The company was founded in 2019 and maintains consistent branding and content quality.

Security posture

The current security posture of Friconix is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer protection are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is published, which limits transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is partially implemented with cookie consent but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. No direct contact channels for security incidents are provided. These gaps present moderate risks that should be addressed to improve security maturity and compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file with incident response contacts.
  5. Provide direct contact information for security incidents such as abuse@ or security@ email addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. Multiple third-party scripts for ads and analytics are integrated, which may impact performance and privacy. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are limited, but domain registration is consistent and legitimate. Performance is moderate due to external dependencies. There is an opportunity to optimize loading times by reducing third-party scripts and improving caching. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced for better user experience.
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.
