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

  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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Leminal Space targets internet users interested in decentralized social networking and community discussions without commercial influence. Its business model is non-commercial, relying on donations and community support. The platform is positioned as a niche player within the federated social media ecosystem, leveraging the open-source Lemmy software. The organization behind the domain is SYNERGY WHOLESALE PTY LTD based in Australia, consistent with the domain registration data. The platform's ecosystem includes partnerships with the official Lemmy project and federated communities across various domains. Growth indicators include active user counts and community engagement metrics. The absence of advertising and tracking aligns with its privacy-centric positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, strong password hashing, captcha for registrations, and email verification. Security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options are present, enhancing protection against common web attacks. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response plan, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the platform balances usability and security effectively, suitable for its community-driven model.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider creating an explicit terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Notes

The site is built on the Lemmy open-source platform using Inferno.js for frontend rendering and Bootstrap for styling. It uses Cloudflare for DNS management and CDN services, ensuring reliable performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO metadata is present but could be expanded for better search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with no significant loading delays detected. The platform supports federation with other Lemmy instances, enhancing content diversity and reach. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for modernization including improved SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
