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

Good Type Foundry AS is a small, award-winning Norwegian type foundry specializing in retail and custom typefaces for digital and print use. The company operates an e-commerce platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce, offering a wide range of font products and custom design services. Their market position is niche but reputable, supported by a client list including notable organizations and a consistent brand presence. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting designers and creative professionals. Technically, the website leverages a modern WordPress stack with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, enhanced by plugins such as CleanTalk Anti-Spam and Mailchimp integration. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though some accessibility features could be improved. The site uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and certain security headers, indicating room for security enhancements. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices such as HTTPS enforcement and anti-spam measures but lacks visible security policies, incident response information, and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration details align well with the business profile, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with moderate security posture and good business credibility. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and published policies would enhance trust and compliance.

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

Good Type Foundry operates in the retail sector focused on typography and font design, serving a specialized market of designers and businesses requiring custom and retail fonts. Their business model combines direct e-commerce sales with bespoke custom font services. The company has established a strong brand with a consistent online presence and notable clients, indicating competitive advantages in quality and design expertise. Revenue streams likely include font sales, custom commissions, and related goods. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with Mailchimp and CleanTalk for marketing and security. Growth indicators include a broad product catalog and active social media presence. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding privacy compliance and security transparency to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and anti-spam protections but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS. There is no published security policy or incident response plan, which limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with no visible cookie consent mechanism. Data protection practices include email obfuscation to prevent spam. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published information. The security culture appears basic but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, but improvements are recommended to reduce risk and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to increase transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses standard web technologies including jQuery and integrates third-party services like Mailchimp and CleanTalk for marketing and spam protection. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains basic SEO and meta tag configurations. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates opportunities for modernization. The infrastructure is suitable for the business scale but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features to reduce operational risks.
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.
