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

Gerhard.xyz is a personal professional website representing Gerhard, a Senior Geospatial Advisor with a focus on blending technology and creativity. The site highlights personal projects, professional roles, and interests such as outdoor activities. The business model is consultancy and personal branding within the technology sector, targeting professionals interested in geospatial and creative technology solutions. The website is hosted on Cloudflare, uses modern web standards, and includes minimal tracking via Cloudflare Insights. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and Content-Security-Policy headers, though some security headers could be added and DNSSEC is not enabled. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. The domain WHOIS data shows inconsistencies with a future creation date, which may be a data anomaly but reduces trust slightly. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and well-structured but could improve privacy and transparency aspects.

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

The website positions Gerhard as a niche expert in geospatial advisory and creative technology projects, with a small-scale business model focused on consultancy and personal projects. The target audience includes technology professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. The site links to partner Desert Road Group and showcases a unique project, The Vandal. The lack of formal business registration details and physical contact information suggests a sole proprietorship or personal brand rather than a large enterprise. The site’s minimal marketing and advertising footprint indicate a focus on organic reach and professional reputation rather than commercial scaling. Growth indicators include recent content updates and active project showcases.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, a strict Content-Security-Policy limiting resource loading to self, and no forms collecting sensitive data, reducing attack surface. The domain is locked against transfer and deletion, enhancing domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some recommended security headers like X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy are missing. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could improve transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the site to regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is strong for a personal site but could be enhanced for compliance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and trust.
  2. Add missing security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to harden browser security.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Add contact information for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to improve incident response capabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with clean, modern HTML5 and CSS3, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure providing fast performance and global CDN benefits. The site uses minimal JavaScript, primarily for Cloudflare Insights analytics, reducing complexity and attack surface. The meta tags and content security policy are well configured, though SEO optimization is basic with no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Accessibility features such as skip links and focus outlines are implemented, enhancing usability. The site is mobile optimized and loads quickly. There is no CMS detected, indicating a static or custom-built site. Technical risks are low, but modernization opportunities include adding structured data for SEO and expanding security headers.
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.
