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

The website www.josiechan.com is a Japanese-language informational and affiliate marketing site focused on hair removal and medical hair removal salons in the Machida area of Tokyo, Japan. It provides detailed rankings, descriptions, and affiliate links to popular salons such as Strash, TBC, and Freya Clinic. The site targets local consumers interested in beauty and personal care services. Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Shift_JIS encoding, and includes tracking scripts from Research Artisan Pro. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms but lacks modern security headers and privacy policies. WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional but has gaps in security, privacy compliance, and business 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention josiechan.com, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The site operates as a niche affiliate marketing platform promoting hair removal services in a specific geographic market (Machida, Japan). It leverages detailed local content and affiliate links to monetize traffic. The business model relies on partnerships with salons and clinics, but no direct company information or contact details are provided, limiting transparency. The site’s market position is that of a local review and ranking aggregator with moderate content quality and basic technical implementation. Growth potential depends on SEO and affiliate conversions. The lack of WHOIS data and privacy policies may hinder trust and compliance.

Security posture

The security posture is weak due to absence of visible HTTPS confirmation, lack of security headers, no privacy or cookie policies, and no incident response or security contact information. Tracking scripts are present but privacy compliance is poor. The missing WHOIS data adds to risk perception. No critical vulnerabilities are evident from the HTML content, but the site should improve SSL/TLS deployment, implement security headers, and publish privacy and security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and verify configuration.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and local regulations.
  3. Publish clear contact information including business email and phone number.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data inconsistencies to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) with Shift_JIS charset, which is uncommon and may affect SEO and accessibility. The site includes affiliate marketing links and tracking scripts from Research Artisan Pro. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. Performance and mobile optimization are basic but functional. The site lacks modern security features and accessibility enhancements. Technical debt includes missing HTTPS confirmation and lack of structured security and privacy implementations.
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.
