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

The domain googlecode.com is historically associated with Google's open source project hosting platform. Currently, the website serves a minimal 404 Not Found error page indicating that the original content is no longer available or has been removed. The domain is registered with MarkMonitor Inc., a reputable registrar commonly used by Google, and uses Google name servers, confirming its legitimacy. However, the website itself lacks any substantive content, business information, or user engagement features at this time. From a technical perspective, the site is hosted on Google's infrastructure but does not present any modern web technologies, scripts, or frameworks in the provided HTML content. The page is mobile responsive at a basic level but lacks SEO optimization, accessibility features, and security headers. No HTTPS or SSL configuration details were provided, which is a critical gap for security posture assessment. Security-wise, the absence of privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, contact information, and security headers indicates a minimal security posture. No vulnerabilities or tracking technologies were detected, but the lack of content and security features limits the ability to fully assess the security maturity. The domain registration data supports trustworthiness, but the website itself is currently non-functional for end users. Overall, the site is low risk from a content safety perspective but scores very low on content quality, privacy compliance, and security posture due to the lack of active content and policies. Strategic recommendations include restoring meaningful content, implementing HTTPS and security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear contact and incident response information to improve 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

8 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

Googlecode.com was historically a platform for hosting open source projects managed by Google. Its market position was as a key service for developers seeking project hosting and collaboration tools. The business model was service-oriented, providing free hosting and tools to the developer community. Currently, the domain no longer hosts active services, indicating a sunset or migration of the platform. There are no visible revenue streams or active partnerships on the site. The target audience was primarily software developers and open source contributors. The lack of current content or services suggests the domain is maintained for legacy or brand protection purposes rather than active business operations.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is minimal. No HTTPS status or security headers were detected in the provided data, and the page lacks privacy and cookie policies. There is no evidence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, but the website itself does not demonstrate active security best practices. The absence of forms or data collection reduces exposure to input-based vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is low risk but also low maturity in security and compliance, reflecting its inactive status.

Recommendations

  1. Restore meaningful website content or redirect to active services to improve user experience and trust.
  2. Implement HTTPS with valid SSL/TLS certificates to secure communications.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance indicators.
  5. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels to enhance transparency and security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website currently serves a simple static 404 error page with minimal HTML and CSS. No JavaScript libraries, frameworks, or CMS platforms are detected. Hosting is provided by Google infrastructure as indicated by the name servers. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level but lacks SEO meta tags and accessibility features. Performance is likely moderate given the minimal content. There is an opportunity to modernize the site with improved technical implementation, including SEO optimization, accessibility compliance, and security enhancements.
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.
