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

Project Gemini is a small-scale technology initiative focused on developing and promoting a new internet protocol designed for lightweight, privacy-respecting interconnected text documents. The website serves as an informational hub providing news, documentation, history, and software related to the Gemini protocol. The project positions itself as an alternative to the modern internet's complexity and privacy challenges, targeting users who value simplicity and minimalism. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML and CSS, showing good mobile optimization and accessibility. The site is hosted under a domain registered recently in 2023, consistent with the project's timeline. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks, CMS, or analytics tools, indicating a minimalistic and privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the domain uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers, but DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers are present in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, and no contact or incident response information is provided. No tracking or advertising technologies are detected, aligning with the project's privacy-focused ethos. Overall, the website is trustworthy and safe, with no adult or questionable content. However, it could improve its security posture and compliance by adding relevant policies, security headers, and contact information. The domain registration is legitimate and consistent with the project's nature and age.

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. 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';…

  2. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Project Gemini operates as a niche technology project within the internet protocols sector, focusing on creating a new, privacy-oriented browsing experience. Its business model appears to be open and community-driven rather than commercial. The project targets privacy-conscious users and developers interested in alternative internet technologies. The lack of commercial elements, advertising, or tracking suggests a non-profit or community project orientation. The project maintains a clear and consistent brand presence with well-structured documentation and official resources. Growth indicators are limited due to the project's early stage and specialized audience. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified, and the domain registration aligns with the project's founding date.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces its resilience against DNS and web-based attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The minimalistic technical implementation reduces the attack surface but also limits advanced security features. Overall, the site demonstrates a basic security posture suitable for an informational project but requires enhancements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect users.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  4. Add contact information and a security.txt file to facilitate incident reporting and vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Consider integrating minimal analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage without compromising user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using simple HTML5 and CSS3 without any detected JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms. The design is responsive and accessible, providing a good user experience on mobile devices. Performance is moderate, likely due to minimal content and no heavy resources. SEO optimization is basic, with no Open Graph or structured data detected. Hosting details beyond the registrar are not explicit, but the domain is registered with NameCheap, a reputable provider. The lack of advanced technologies reduces complexity but also limits functionality and security features. There is an opportunity to modernize the site with lightweight frameworks or static site generators while maintaining the project's privacy focus.
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.
