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

Khamsat.com is a well-established Arabic online marketplace founded in 2010, specializing in microservices across diverse categories including design, writing, marketing, programming, video production, engineering, business services, audio, remote education, data, and lifestyle. The platform targets Arabic-speaking freelancers and clients, offering a comprehensive and professional service ecosystem. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with JavaScript and CSS, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and employs proprietary Hsoub JS components for UI elements. The website is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy and cookie policies are present with a forced consent mechanism, indicating GDPR compliance. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, and no formal security policy or incident response contacts are found. Overall, Khamsat.com demonstrates a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and user trust, though improvements in security transparency and DNS security are recommended.

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

3 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Khamsat holds a leading position in the Arabic microservices market, leveraging a broad service portfolio that appeals to freelancers and clients seeking affordable digital services. The business model is a marketplace facilitating service transactions starting at five dollars. The platform's longevity since 2010 and extensive service categories indicate a stable revenue stream and a large user base. The absence of explicit contact details suggests reliance on internal platform communication. The affiliate program indicates marketing partnerships to expand reach. Hosting on AWS and use of proprietary UI frameworks reflect a moderate to advanced technical infrastructure. The company maintains consistent branding and content quality, reinforcing its market reputation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. The cookie consent mechanism is robust with forced consent and clear user options, supporting privacy compliance. No exposed vulnerabilities or sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness perception. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program is evident, which could be improved to foster responsible vulnerability reporting and enhance security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Consider providing verified company contact information for security and general inquiries to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

Khamsat.com operates on a custom-built platform with JavaScript and CSS technologies, leveraging AWS for hosting and DNS services. The site uses proprietary Hsoub JavaScript libraries for UI components such as headers and tab bars, indicating a tailored user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site includes a comprehensive navigation structure with deep categorization of services. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, though the absence of some modern security headers suggests room for modernization. The platform's technical maturity supports a large-scale marketplace operation with a focus on Arabic-speaking users.
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.
