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

Go with WP. is a small, niche media and educational platform focused on empowering WordPress communities through podcasts, events, and contributor series. The website serves WordPress enthusiasts, developers, and community members by providing curated content and event coverage such as WordCamp Europe 2025. The business model centers on community engagement and educational content delivery within the WordPress ecosystem. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 6.8.2, hosted on SiteGround, and uses modern plugins like Blockspare Pro and YouTube Embed Plus, with good SEO practices including structured data and Rank Math SEO plugin. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security transparency.

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

The platform positions itself as a community-centric WordPress educational resource, leveraging multimedia content such as podcasts and videos. It targets WordPress users at all expertise levels and fosters open-source contributions. Partnerships with AF themes and WPEntire indicate collaboration within the WordPress ecosystem. The business relies on content engagement and sponsorships rather than direct sales. Growth potential lies in expanding educational offerings and community programs. The presence on multiple social media platforms enhances reach and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain transfer lock, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency. No forms or sensitive data collection points are present on the homepage, reducing attack surface. Privacy policies are missing, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security or abuse contacts to enhance trust and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with up-to-date core version 6.8.2 and uses reputable plugins for SEO, video embedding, and block animations. Hosting on SiteGround ensures reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata and structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by embedded videos and multiple plugins. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and privacy compliance improvements are needed to reduce risk and improve user trust.
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.
