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

GoldPrice.org is a well-established financial information website specializing in live gold price charts and historical data across multiple currencies. Founded in 2003, it serves investors and individuals interested in precious metals pricing worldwide. The site is positioned as a leading resource in its niche, offering fast-loading charts and market insights supported by advertising revenue. Technically, the site uses Drupal 10 CMS, Cloudflare for DNS and CDN, and integrates modern web technologies such as lazy loading and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Privacy compliance is robust with a comprehensive privacy policy and a Cookiebot consent mechanism enabling granular user control over cookies. Security posture is good with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly observed. No contact or incident response information is published, which could be improved. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

2 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 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

GoldPrice.org operates in the finance sector, targeting retail investors and market participants interested in gold pricing. Its competitive advantage lies in providing real-time, multi-currency gold price charts and historical data with a user-friendly interface. The business model relies on advertising and partnerships with ad networks and marketing platforms. The site maintains a consistent brand and content quality, with a long domain history supporting credibility. Partnerships with related domains like silverprice.org enhance its market ecosystem. Growth potential exists through expanding services and improving direct customer engagement, though currently no direct contact channels are visible.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer restrictions in place. Use of Cloudflare DNS and CDN adds resilience and performance benefits. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS represent areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness perception. Overall, security is adequate but could be strengthened with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Consider adding visible company contact information to improve trust and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, which supports fast loading and global availability. It uses modern front-end technologies including lazy loading of images and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with proper meta tags and SEO practices. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. The technical infrastructure is solid, though enabling DNSSEC and additional security headers would further harden the platform. The use of multiple third-party ad and tracking services is managed through a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, balancing monetization with privacy compliance.
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.
