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

Inscript is a niche virtual festival dedicated to experimental typography and the intersection of technology and design. Founded in 2022, it has established itself as a platform for creative professionals and enthusiasts to explore innovative typographic practices through online presentations, discussions, and grants. The website reflects a well-curated event with detailed speaker information and press coverage, targeting a global audience of designers and technologists. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks like Gatsby and hosted on DigitalOcean, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, the absence of privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies indicates gaps in compliance and user transparency. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks published security policies or incident response details. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

9 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 Inscript festival operates as a small-scale virtual event business focusing on the creative and design sectors, particularly typography and technology. Its revenue model likely includes ticket sales and sponsorships, with a strong emphasis on community and innovation. The event attracts a specialized audience of designers, typographers, and creative coders worldwide. The presence of grants and curated speakers enhances its market positioning as a thought leader in experimental typography. Partnerships with media outlets and design organizations further support its credibility and growth potential. The business demonstrates a clear niche focus with opportunities for expansion through enhanced digital marketing and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and is hosted on a reputable provider, DigitalOcean, which supports a secure infrastructure. No security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby, a modern React-based static site generator, ensuring fast load times and good SEO. It uses Sanity CMS for content management and DigitalOcean for hosting, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. The site employs WebP images and lazy loading for performance optimization. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with semantic HTML and responsive design. However, no explicit accessibility ARIA roles or advanced SEO structured data (like JSON-LD) were detected. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms are technical gaps that should be addressed to improve security and regulatory adherence.
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.
