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

3 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 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 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

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

Magic Pages operates a subscription-based SaaS model with tiered pricing plans targeting Ghost CMS publishers who prefer managed hosting without technical overhead. The founder-led approach and personal support differentiate it from larger hosting providers. Revenue streams include monthly subscriptions and add-ons like custom theme uploads. The company actively supports open source projects and the Ghost Foundation, enhancing its community credibility. The target customer segment includes bloggers, membership sites, and professional publishers seeking reliable, GDPR-compliant hosting. Growth indicators include a growing user base (600+ publishers) and positive support ratings. Partnerships with Ghost Foundation and contributions to Kubernetes tooling reflect a strategic ecosystem engagement. The business is small, Austria-based, and founded in 2023, with a clear focus on quality and customer experience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of Bunny.net Shield for DDoS protection. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by Iubenda cookie consent and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness visibility. The personalized support model reduces phishing risks and enhances trust. Recommendations include publishing explicit security governance documents and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel to improve security culture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security contact.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance automated security monitoring and penetration testing practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Ghost CMS 6.0, hosted on Hetzner Cloud with Kubernetes orchestration via hetzner-k3s. It uses modern frontend technologies including PrismJS for syntax highlighting and Remixicon for icons. Performance optimizations include CDN usage and preloading critical assets. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Integration with Paddle for payments and ProfitWell for analytics indicates a mature commercial infrastructure. The use of Iubenda for cookie consent ensures compliance with privacy regulations. Technical risks are minimal, with no broken elements or outdated libraries detected. Opportunities exist to further modernize by enhancing security governance and expanding transparency around data protection.
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.
