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

Lavender Software is a small digital product studio specializing in software development projects such as theming platforms, synchronized video playback webapps, and upcoming niche applications for music marketplaces and secure communication clients. The company offers consulting, system operations, and contractual project work, targeting software users, developers, artists, and Linux users. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content relevance, though it lacks formal privacy and cookie policies as well as contact information. Technically, the website uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with DNS hosted by Hurricane Electric. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or frameworks are detected. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no DNSSEC or security headers implemented. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user tracking. Security-wise, the domain is registered with privacy protection, which is common and justified for a small software company. The domain age aligns with the company's founding year, supporting legitimacy. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC reduces the security score. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, and no contact channels for security issues are available. Overall, the website is safe with no adult or questionable content. The business credibility is moderate due to transparency in source code availability but limited contact and policy information. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing contact information to improve 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 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Lavender Software operates as a niche digital product studio focusing on innovative software projects with a small team size. Their business model centers on software consulting, system operations, and project-based contractual work. The company targets developers, artists, and Linux users with products like theming platforms and secure communication clients. The availability of source code suggests a commitment to transparency and open development. Market positioning is modest but focused on technology innovation. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. Growth indicators include upcoming projects and public code repositories.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The domain uses privacy protection and has a clientTransferProhibited status, which are positive trust signals. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. No privacy or cookie policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. The absence of contact information limits incident handling readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small software studio but could be improved to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails or forms for general and security incident communications.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without detectable frameworks or CMS. DNS is managed via Hurricane Electric name servers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No forms or user input mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The technical infrastructure is simple and stable but could benefit from modernization and 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.
