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

MDBootstrap's MDB GO platform targets developers and designers seeking streamlined deployment and hosting solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its CLI integration, extensive starter templates, and support for multiple technology stacks. The platform's ecosystem includes partnerships with related MDB tools and a strong brand presence evidenced by references to major companies. Revenue streams likely include premium services or custom development offerings. The company demonstrates growth potential through its broad technology support and developer community engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and secure domain registration practices with clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. However, it lacks explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure, and security headers. Tracking and analytics tools are extensively used without visible cookie consent mechanisms, indicating privacy compliance gaps. No incident response or security contact information is provided. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and policy publication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and document a security policy and incident response procedures.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to improve protection.
  5. Provide vulnerability disclosure information or a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern technologies including Bootstrap Material Design, Hugo static site generator, and Font Awesome icons. It integrates multiple analytics and tracking services such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Mouseflow. The site is mobile optimized, fast loading, and well-structured with clear navigation. Hosting is provided by OVH sas, a reputable provider. The technical implementation is robust, though the absence of some security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for technical enhancement.
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.
