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

MacroFactor is a small business operating a science-backed diet coach and macro tracker mobile application. The website serves as a marketing and informational platform to promote the app, targeting individuals interested in nutrition and fitness. The business appears to be relatively new, founded around 2021, with a focused service offering in the health and wellness sector. The website is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and technical infrastructure. The presence of Google Tag Manager and SEO plugins suggests an emphasis on marketing and user engagement. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy policy or terms of service in the provided content. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve transparency and security practices to enhance user 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

5 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

MacroFactor positions itself as a specialized diet coaching and macro tracking app, leveraging science-backed methodologies to differentiate from competitors. The business model likely revolves around app subscriptions or in-app purchases. The target audience includes health-conscious individuals seeking flexible diet management tools. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and uses digital marketing tools to reach its audience. The domain registration and technical setup reflect a legitimate and stable operation. However, the absence of detailed contact information and legal policies on the website may limit credibility for some users. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and registrar-level domain protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented with denial of tracking in EU regions, aligning with GDPR principles, but the absence of a privacy policy reduces compliance confidence. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Add clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS with GoDaddy as the registrar. Performance appears moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization in place. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security. Overall, the technical setup is solid for a small business marketing site but could benefit from security and compliance 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.
