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

3 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 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 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

The business targets general consumers interested in weather forecasts, offering free content supplemented by premium subscription options. Its market position is strengthened by partnerships with related weather services across Europe and North America, as evidenced by alternate language site links. Revenue streams primarily derive from advertising networks such as Google Ad Manager and Hubvisor, alongside subscription services. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and leverages advanced ad tech and analytics tools to optimize monetization and user engagement. The absence of direct contact information and explicit privacy policies suggests areas for operational enhancement to improve user trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and GDPR consent management implemented via AppConsent.io. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for hardening. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be a compliance and risk management gap. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main site.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for business and security inquiries to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad technologies to minimize privacy risks and ensure up-to-date security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern JavaScript-based front-end with lazy loading, responsive breakpoints, and device detection. It integrates multiple ad networks and consent management platforms, indicating a complex ad tech stack. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and preloading optimizations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but could be improved with explicit ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of multiple CDNs and third-party services suggests a distributed infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, though the complexity of ad integrations requires ongoing maintenance to avoid performance degradation or security issues.
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.
