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

7 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

GenerateBlocks operates in the WordPress plugin market, focusing on block editor enhancements that appeal to performance-conscious users. Its business model includes free and pro versions, supported by documentation, support services, and affiliate marketing. The partnership with GeneratePress theme strengthens its market position. The company targets web designers, developers, and WordPress site owners. Revenue streams likely include plugin sales and support subscriptions. The website's testimonials and structured data enhance credibility. The absence of direct contact info suggests a lean operation or reliance on support portals. The ecosystem includes payment processing via Stripe and marketing via Mailchimp. Growth potential is tied to WordPress adoption and block editor popularity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registrar locks preventing unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could mitigate certain web attacks. No public security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency. Forms use standard WordPress AJAX endpoints with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Tracking scripts are minimal and privacy-respecting (Fathom Analytics). Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding verified contact information (email/phone) on the website to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the GeneratePress theme and integrates Easy Digital Downloads for commerce and Stripe for payment processing. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries. The site is optimized for performance with CSS and JS minification and caching. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, providing resilience and performance benefits. The site lacks some advanced security headers but otherwise follows good coding standards. The technical stack is modern and well maintained, supporting a fast and reliable 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.
