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

The website itsastrid.me is a personal site belonging to Astrid, a transfem individual residing in Catalunya. The site serves as a personal blog and portfolio showcasing interests in EDM music, Rubik's cubes, origami, trains, and photography, particularly train photography. It includes a gallery of images, links to social media on the Fediverse, and Wikimedia Commons contributions. The website is built using modern web technologies, specifically Astro framework, and is optimized for mobile and accessibility. The domain is recently registered with privacy protection, consistent with the personal nature of the site. From a technical perspective, the site demonstrates good performance, responsive design, and SEO optimization. However, it lacks some security best practices such as DNSSEC, security headers, and privacy/cookie policies. HTTPS is enabled, and domain registration includes protective status flags. No forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The site does not collect user data extensively and has minimal tracking, aligning with privacy expectations for a personal site. Overall, the site is low risk, well-maintained for its purpose, but would benefit from adding privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing security headers to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

The website represents a niche personal brand rather than a commercial business. It targets a general audience interested in personal stories, train photography, and niche hobbies. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on content sharing and community engagement via Fediverse and Wikimedia Commons. The domain is newly created, indicating a recent launch or rebranding. Partnerships appear limited to friendly links with other personal or small community sites. Revenue streams or monetization are not evident. Growth indicators are minimal, consistent with a personal hobby site. The site maintains a consistent brand identity and content quality, fostering trust within its niche community.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited status, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which is typical for personal sites but limits readiness for security events. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. No sensitive data collection or forms reduce exposure to common web vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is low risk but could improve security hygiene and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response readiness.
  5. Consider adding contact information such as a company email to enhance trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Astro v5.8.0, a modern static site generator framework, with CSS and SVG for styling and graphics. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Performance is fast with lazy loading of images and responsive design. Accessibility features such as skip links and alt attributes are present. No CMS or dynamic backend detected, reducing complexity and attack surface. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registrar is Porkbun LLC. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is modern, clean, and efficient with minor opportunities for security enhancements.
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.
