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

MapPress Pro is a specialized WordPress plugin business focused on providing advanced Google and Leaflet map integration for WordPress users. The company, founded around 2018, offers a professional plugin product with features such as interactive maps, clustering, and custom templates. The website targets WordPress bloggers and professionals seeking enhanced mapping capabilities. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with React and Leaflet.js, hosted on SiteGround, and uses modern web technologies. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and nonce usage for AJAX, but lacks some security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, supporting the business credibility.

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

MapPress Pro holds a strong position in the WordPress plugin market for mapping solutions, leveraging a direct sales and support model. The business benefits from a niche focus on interactive maps, appealing to a technical audience of WordPress users. The availability of a free version and a demo site supports user acquisition and trust. The company appears to be a small entity led by Chris Richardson, with no parent or subsidiaries indicated. The ecosystem includes integrations with Google Maps, Mapbox, and OpenStreetMap. Growth potential lies in expanding features and improving compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and nonce protection for AJAX calls. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not provided, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. Privacy compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR, are notable risks. The site uses Google Analytics without visible cookie consent, which may expose it to compliance issues.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Provide vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information to enhance security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with React and Leaflet.js for interactive map functionality. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, a reputable provider. The site loads moderate resources including external fonts and scripts from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. The use of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager indicates standard marketing and tracking practices. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve trust.
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.
