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

Iconify OÜ operates the website iconify.design, providing a comprehensive open source framework aggregating over 200,000 vector icons from popular icon sets. The company targets developers and designers seeking a unified icon solution, positioning itself as a mature and well-established player in the icon framework market. The business model is primarily open source with sponsorship support, emphasizing community and developer engagement. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Social media presence across multiple platforms supports community interaction and trust. Technically, the website leverages modern frontend technologies including VitePress and ES modules, hosted with Cloudflare DNS services. Performance is fast, mobile optimization is excellent, and SEO practices are good. Accessibility features are present but could be enhanced. The site does not use a traditional CMS and relies on static site generation. No forms or direct data collection mechanisms are present, reducing privacy risks. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enforced with a good SSL configuration and domain transfer protection. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not explicitly detected, representing areas for improvement. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which could impact trust for security-conscious users. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency would enhance the security posture and user trust further.

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 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

Iconify OÜ is a small technology company focused on providing an open source icon framework that aggregates multiple popular icon sets into a single platform. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of icon coverage and developer-friendly APIs and libraries. The business model relies on open source contributions and sponsorships, targeting developers and designers globally. The company maintains an active presence on social media and offers extensive documentation and tooling support, indicating a growth-oriented and community-driven approach. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident, suggesting a focused operational scope. The company’s market position is solid within the niche of icon frameworks, with a reputation for quality and reliability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain transfer protection is enabled, reducing risks of domain hijacking. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No forms or user input fields reduce attack surface, but lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs limits transparency and preparedness perception. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Compliance with GDPR is not clearly demonstrated, and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism if cookies or tracking technologies are used.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data protection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using VitePress, a modern static site generator optimized for documentation sites, leveraging ES modules and modern JavaScript. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, likely with CDN benefits. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with responsive design. Accessibility features such as skip links and dark mode detection are implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or server-side technologies are detected, indicating a static site architecture. No analytics or tracking scripts are evident, minimizing privacy concerns. The technical stack is modern and well-suited for the website’s purpose, with low technical debt and good maintainability.
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.
