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

The website is a personal cybersecurity portfolio belonging to Kaspars Kusiņš, focusing on showcasing the latest cybersecurity vulnerabilities (CVEs) and security insights. It targets cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts by providing real-time CVE data and research content. The site is built with modern web technologies and emphasizes secure data transmission via HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate. The business model is informational and portfolio-based, with no commercial transactions or services offered directly on the site. Technically, the site uses standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with external resources such as Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons. It does not rely on a CMS or major frameworks, indicating a lightweight and custom-built platform. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic but present through meta tags and structured content. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and SSL but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies such as privacy, cookie, or incident response policies. No contact information or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided, which limits transparency and user trust. The WHOIS data shows privacy protection but contains a suspicious future domain creation date, which reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the website is a well-designed personal portfolio with good content quality and security basics but lacks formal compliance and business credibility elements. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, contact transparency, and domain registration legitimacy would enhance trust and security posture.

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.

Business context

Business profile

Kaspars Kusiņš operates a niche personal cybersecurity portfolio website that serves as a platform to share cybersecurity research and real-time vulnerability data. The site positions itself as an educational and professional showcase rather than a commercial enterprise. Its competitive advantage lies in providing up-to-date CVE information integrated with a clean, modern design. The business model is informational with no direct monetization or service offerings. The target audience includes cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in vulnerability trends. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or parent companies. Growth indicators are limited due to the personal nature of the site, and the partnership ecosystem is minimal. The site’s operations focus on content delivery and portfolio presentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS and SSL are properly implemented, ensuring encrypted data transmission. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source code. The lack of privacy, cookie, and incident response policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and NIS2 regulations. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting the ability for external parties to report security issues. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a personal portfolio but would benefit from enhanced policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information and establish an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with a clean, modern front-end using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It leverages Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons. The site does not use a CMS or large frameworks, indicating a custom lightweight build. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but includes meta description and viewport tags. The domain is registered via NameCheap with privacy protection, but the WHOIS data contains an anomalous future creation date, which is a technical risk. No advanced hosting or platform details are evident. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, which reduces privacy concerns but limits marketing insights.
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.
