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

GoTop100.com is a niche media platform focused on providing users with curated entertainment lists and voting capabilities to rank favorites in categories such as movies and TV shows. The site targets a general audience interested in entertainment content and user engagement through voting. The business model centers on user-generated rankings and content discovery, positioning itself as a specialized media ranking site with a small-scale operation. Technically, the website employs a modern but basic tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with a moderate performance profile and basic SEO and accessibility features. However, there is no detected CMS or advanced hosting information. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which are recommended to enhance protection. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Cookie consent is implemented, but GDPR compliance indicators are minimal. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the website's purpose and shows no privacy protection, supporting legitimacy. No suspicious patterns or discrepancies were found. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of malware or phishing. The overall risk is moderate with recommendations to improve security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

GoTop100.com operates in the media sector, focusing on entertainment content ranking and user engagement. Its competitive advantage lies in its niche focus on voting-based content discovery. The business model likely relies on user interaction and possibly advertising revenue, although no explicit ad networks were detected. The target customers are general entertainment consumers seeking curated lists and recommendations. Growth indicators are not explicit, and no partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The site maintains consistent branding and a professional appearance, supporting credibility in its niche market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks. No published security policies or incident response contacts limit transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party analytics introduces moderate user tracking, which is partially mitigated by cookie consent. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but security best practices should be enhanced to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance GDPR compliance by detailing data protection practices and cookie usage in the privacy policy.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans, especially for third-party libraries and scripts.
  5. Consider adding social media presence and verified contact emails to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern front-end stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring responsive design and interactivity. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, indicating moderate digital maturity. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and preloading fonts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. SEO is basic with meta viewport and title tags but lacks structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident, suggesting a custom or lightweight hosting environment. Technical risks include outdated jQuery versions and missing 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.
