Technically, the website employs modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates multiple third-party services including Stripe for payments, Facebook SDK, and analytics tools like Yandex Metrika and Google Tag Manager. The hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain locks in place, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected.

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 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

  3. 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

Masterpages occupies a niche market as a marketing-focused website builder with integrated AI tools, differentiating itself from generic website builders by emphasizing lead generation and marketing automation. Its competitive advantage lies in ease of use, AI-powered content creation, and integrated marketing features such as quizzes and popups. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and premium workshops. The target customers range from small local businesses to online entrepreneurs and agencies, indicating a broad but focused market segment. The presence of partner logos and testimonials enhances credibility. The company has been established since 2002, suggesting stability and experience. The ecosystem includes a dedicated help site and integrations with major marketing and analytics platforms, supporting a mature operational model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status locks that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security robustness. No explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected in the provided data, which are recommended best practices. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which increases the attack surface and requires careful management to avoid vulnerabilities. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is claimed and supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers, DNSSEC, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce attack surface.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Feather Icons, and SimpleBar for UI enhancements. It integrates with multiple third-party services such as Stripe for payment processing, Facebook SDK for social features, and analytics platforms like Yandex Metrika and Google Tag Manager. The use of Ruby on Rails is implied by the presence of authenticity tokens and turbo attributes. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with excellent accessibility and SEO practices. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built solution tailored to the business needs. Performance is fast with no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy mechanisms to reduce technical debt and enhance compliance.
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.
