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

ibericode BV is a small European company specializing in developing open-source software products for the web, primarily focusing on WordPress plugins such as Mailchimp for WordPress and Koko Analytics. The company has a significant market presence with over 73 million downloads and active use on more than 2.1 million websites, positioning it as a reputable niche player in the WordPress ecosystem. Their business model revolves around open-source software with premium plugin offerings, targeting web developers and WordPress site owners. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap and JavaScript, with a clean and professional design optimized for mobile devices. The site uses self-hosted analytics to respect user privacy and demonstrates good SEO practices. However, some technical aspects such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, indicating room for improvement in security and compliance. From a security perspective, the website shows no immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but lacks visible security headers and formal security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear trustworthy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices. The overall risk assessment suggests a generally trustworthy and professional website with minor security and compliance gaps. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details to enhance trust and security culture.

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

6 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 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

  3. 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

ibericode operates in the technology sector with a focus on open-source WordPress plugins, serving a global audience of web developers and site owners. Their competitive advantage lies in their popular plugins with large user bases and privacy-focused analytics solutions. The business model combines free open-source offerings with premium features, generating revenue while fostering community engagement. Growth indicators include high download counts and active site usage. The company maintains a small international remote team and has a clear partnership ecosystem with related projects. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining transparency in domain registration and enhancing compliance to support continued growth and trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS (implied but not explicitly confirmed), does not expose sensitive data, and employs privacy-respecting analytics. However, the lack of security headers, cookie consent mechanisms, and published security or incident response policies indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern that impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the security culture appears informal but functional, with opportunities to formalize policies and improve technical defenses to meet GDPR and NIS2 standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, responsive front-end stack using Bootstrap and JavaScript, delivering a good user experience across devices. The use of self-hosted analytics demonstrates a commitment to privacy. However, the absence of CMS identification and hosting provider details limits full infrastructure assessment. Performance is moderate with no obvious technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and SEO further. The lack of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represents technical risks that could impact compliance and 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.
