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

Pictogrammers operates a comprehensive and original Material Design Icons library, offering over 7200 unique icons aligned with Google's Material Design guidelines. The website targets developers, designers, and businesses seeking high-quality system icons. It maintains a strong market position as a leading icon library with active community engagement via GitHub and social media platforms. The business model appears to be open source with potential commercial licensing or donation support. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including Next.js and Material UI, hosted on AWS infrastructure, ensuring fast performance, excellent mobile optimization, and good accessibility. The site employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, although DNSSEC is not enabled. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and domain transfer protection, but lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and cookie policies. Business credibility is supported by professional content and consistent branding, though direct contact information is limited. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong technical and content quality, suitable for its target audience. Strategic improvements include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to enhance trust and security transparency.

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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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

Pictogrammers holds a niche leadership position in the technology sector as a provider of Material Design Icons. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of its icon library and adherence to Google's design standards. The business model leverages open source distribution with potential monetization through licensing or donations. Target customers include software developers, UI/UX designers, and enterprises requiring consistent iconography. Growth is indicated by frequent version updates and active GitHub repository. The partnership ecosystem includes social media channels for community engagement. Operationally, the company maintains a lean structure with a focus on digital product delivery and community support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The domain's clientTransferProhibited status adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security transparency and readiness. No signs of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie consent and privacy policy adherence. Incident response readiness could be improved by publishing dedicated contact channels and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced documentation and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit security contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website leverages a modern and robust technical infrastructure built on Next.js and Material UI, ensuring responsive design and fast load times. Hosting on AWS with Route53 DNS provides reliable availability. The site includes proper meta tags for SEO and accessibility features, enhancing user experience. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected in the provided content. Performance is optimized with preloading of key assets and fonts. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor technical gap.

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.
