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

4 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 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 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

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 operates in the technology sector, focusing on frontend web development tools and UI design resources. Its business model revolves around providing free and premium UI kits, templates, and plugins, supported by a large user base and monetized through premium offerings and advertising. The company targets developers and designers seeking to implement Material Design principles using Bootstrap frameworks. Strategic partnerships with platforms like MDB GO and third-party tool providers enhance its ecosystem. The extensive documentation and tutorials indicate a strong commitment to user education and community engagement, supporting sustained growth and market penetration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration safeguards such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of visible security headers suggest areas for enhancement. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site lacks publicly accessible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. Implementing these elements would strengthen the security culture and compliance stance, particularly regarding GDPR and other data protection regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, utilizing Bootstrap 4 and 5 frameworks alongside jQuery and Font Awesome for UI components. The presence of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates advanced tracking and marketing capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern SEO practices including structured JSON-LD data and Open Graph tags. Hosting is managed via OVH sas, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to enhance user experience. Opportunities exist to improve technical security configurations and to enhance privacy compliance features.
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.
