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

Girls Who Code Girls is a website focused on providing a coding experience aimed at changing the future of women in gaming. The site appears to target women interested in technology and gaming, promoting education in coding. The website uses modern tracking and bot protection technologies such as Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA v3, along with Cookiebot for cookie consent management. However, the site content is minimal in the HTML source, relying heavily on JavaScript, and lacks visible contact information, privacy policies, or terms of service pages. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises concerns about the domain's registration legitimacy. Security measures like HTTPS are implied but not verifiable from the data provided, and no security headers were detected. Overall, the site shows basic technical implementation but lacks comprehensive security and compliance documentation.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  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

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 itself in the technology and education sector, specifically targeting women in gaming and coding. The business model and market position are unclear due to limited publicly available information. There are no visible partnerships, subsidiaries, or certifications. The lack of contact information and company details limits the ability to assess revenue streams or growth indicators. The use of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot suggests some level of marketing and compliance awareness. The site likely operates as a small-scale or startup initiative focused on educational outreach.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate with the implementation of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate bot activity and Cookiebot for cookie consent, indicating some privacy compliance efforts. However, the absence of visible security headers, privacy policies, terms of service, and contact information for incident response reduces the overall security maturity. The missing WHOIS registration data is a significant red flag, impacting trust and legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers, documented policies, and transparent contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident communications.
  3. Verify and ensure domain registration details are properly configured and publicly accessible to improve legitimacy.
  4. Enhance security posture by adding standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based frontend with deferred loading of vendor and app scripts, indicating a single-page application or similar architecture. Technologies detected include Google Tag Manager for analytics, Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site includes meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with deferred scripts but no explicit performance metrics available. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no explicit ARIA or accessibility tags detected. The lack of visible forms or contact fields limits data collection exposure. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but minimalistic and could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security features.
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.
