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

Luke Holder's website serves as a professional portfolio highlighting his expertise as a software engineer and lead commerce engineer at Craft CMS. The site emphasizes his international work experience and contributions to open source projects, targeting technology professionals and collaborators. The technical infrastructure is modern and performant, leveraging Cloudflare for hosting and analytics, with a clean, responsive design optimized for mobile and accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is minimal due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance documentation and security best practices.

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The website positions Luke Holder as a niche individual professional in the technology sector, with a focus on software engineering and commerce solutions. His business model revolves around personal branding and product creation, supported by a strong presence in open source communities. The site links to reputable partners such as Craft CMS and Pixel & Tonic, indicating a solid partnership ecosystem. The target audience includes developers and technology professionals seeking expertise or collaboration. Growth indicators include ongoing leadership roles and product acquisitions. The absence of formal business registrations or certifications suggests a small-scale operation primarily focused on personal professional services.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to high, with HTTPS and domain transfer lock in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Compliance with GDPR and other regulations is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could be addressed to enhance security culture and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  4. Create a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  5. Consider implementing a cookie consent mechanism if cookies or tracking scripts are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean, standards-compliant HTML5 and CSS3 codebase with JavaScript for analytics. It is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is fast with responsive design and good accessibility features. No CMS or frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or static site. The site uses modern meta tags and Open Graph for SEO and social sharing. Technical risks are minimal, though the absence of security headers and DNSSEC represents potential areas for technical debt and security enhancement.
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.
