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

jQuery Tools is an open source JavaScript UI library providing essential user interface components such as tabs, tooltips, overlays, and form utilities. The website serves web developers and site creators by offering demos, documentation, and downloads of the library. It holds a moderate market position as a popular UI toolkit used by various websites worldwide. The business model is centered on open source distribution without direct commercial offerings. Technically, the site uses jQuery and the jQuery Tools library, hosted on HostGator, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. The site lacks HTTPS in the HTML content, uses HTTP for script loading, and does not implement security headers or privacy policies, indicating a low security posture. Google Analytics is used for tracking without visible cookie consent, raising privacy compliance concerns. Overall, the website is professional and functional but requires significant improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and protect users.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 targets web developers seeking lightweight UI components for modern websites. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a small, easy-to-use JavaScript library with popular UI features. The open source nature suggests revenue is not directly generated from the site but possibly through community support or related services. The lack of contact information and policies limits business transparency. Partnerships with sites like Flowplayer and The Blog Starter are indicated through external links. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal business information. The ecosystem appears focused on developer tools with no evident commercial expansion or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. The absence of HTTPS in the HTML content, lack of security headers, and missing privacy and cookie policies expose the site to risks such as data interception and non-compliance with GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of external scripts over HTTP further increases vulnerability. While no explicit vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, the site does not follow modern security best practices. The security score is low, and improvements are critical to protect users and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS site-wide with a valid SSL certificate to secure all content and scripts.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response channels.
  5. Review and update all external script sources to load over HTTPS to prevent mixed content issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic jQuery-based UI library with scripts loaded from a CDN and HostGator hosting. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good navigation and user experience. However, the site lacks modern security configurations and HTTPS enforcement. Performance is moderate, with some asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. There is no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Technical debt is moderate due to outdated HTTP usage and missing security features. Modernization opportunities include migrating to HTTPS, improving privacy compliance, and enhancing security headers to reduce risk.
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.
