Security score

73/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website liberapay.com is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare security challenge page that requires human verification via Turnstile captcha. This prevents access to the actual website content, limiting the ability to analyze business, security, and compliance details. The domain is registered since 2015 with Gandi SAS and uses Cloudflare for DNS and security, indicating a legitimate and established presence. However, no privacy policies, contact information, or business details are visible on the challenge page. The technical infrastructure relies on Cloudflare's security platform, but no further technology stack or CMS information is available due to content blocking. Security posture appears standard with domain transfer lock and HTTPS implied by Cloudflare usage, but no security headers or policies can be confirmed. Overall, the site is protected by a strong WAF, but this limits external analysis and reduces the AI scoring to a low level due to lack of accessible content.

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

6 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 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

    • 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: Cloudflare

      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

Due to the Cloudflare challenge page, no direct business intelligence data such as company description, market position, or services can be extracted. The domain age and registrar data suggest an established entity. The lack of visible contact or policy information on this page means no insights into revenue streams, partnerships, or customer segments can be derived. The site likely targets a general audience given the absence of adult or niche content indicators.

Security posture

The security posture is partially observable through the presence of Cloudflare's WAF and Turnstile captcha, which provide protection against automated attacks and bots. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. However, no explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or certifications are visible. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor security gap. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate security maturity but lacks publicly visible security documentation or headers on this challenge page.

Recommendations

  1. Provide accessible privacy and cookie policies on publicly reachable pages to improve compliance and trust.
  2. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts to enhance transparency.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  4. Ensure security headers are properly configured and visible on all pages beyond the WAF challenge.
  5. Consider providing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging their security challenge platform and Turnstile captcha for bot mitigation. The HTML content is minimal and serves only as a gatekeeper, preventing access to the main site content. No CMS or backend technologies are detectable from this page. Performance and SEO cannot be assessed due to content blocking. The domain uses Cloudflare nameservers and is registered with Gandi SAS since 2015. DNSSEC is not enabled. The technical setup prioritizes security and bot protection but limits external analysis and user experience until verification is passed.
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.
