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

MaxiBestOf is a niche online platform providing curated inspiration for website designs and fonts, targeting web designers and creative professionals globally. Founded in 2016 and registered in France, it operates as a small business project by Bertrand Bruandet. The platform offers a daily feed of design inspiration, categorized website galleries, font styles, and a weekly newsletter subscription service. It monetizes through advertising and sponsorships, featuring partner promotions and affiliate links. Technically, the site is built on modern JavaScript frameworks including Nuxt.js and Vue.js, leveraging Cloudflare DNS and CDN for performance and reliability. The website is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with a clean, professional design and clear navigation. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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

    • 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

MaxiBestOf occupies a specialized market niche as a design inspiration aggregator, differentiating itself through curated content and a focus on fonts and website design. Its business model relies on content curation, advertising, and newsletter subscriptions, targeting designers and developers seeking creative ideas. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes advertising networks and analytics providers, supporting monetization and user insights. Growth indicators include a large categorized gallery and active newsletter campaigns. The founder's presence on Twitter suggests engagement with the design community. The lack of extensive corporate information and certifications indicates a small-scale operation focused on content quality and user experience rather than enterprise services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections active. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security.txt, and advanced HTTP security headers indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks formal incident response contacts or published security policies. Privacy compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms, which could pose regulatory risks under GDPR. The use of third-party analytics and ad networks introduces moderate tracking but no overtly invasive practices. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small content platform but should be enhanced to meet best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking and cookies.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden HTTP security.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to provide vulnerability disclosure information and improve incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, indicating a modern JavaScript single-page application architecture. It uses ES modules and imports, with iconography provided by Iconify. Hosting appears to be via OVH with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services for performance and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph tags. Performance is likely fast due to CDN usage and optimized assets. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom-built solution. Technical risks are low but include missing DNSSEC and some security headers. The site uses third-party analytics and advertising scripts, which should be managed carefully for privacy 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.
