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

micr0byte is a small-scale developer and community builder focused on creating accessible tools for the Fediverse and open-source ecosystem. The website showcases a variety of open-source projects, including accessibility bots and AI-powered terminal assistants, targeting developers and technology enthusiasts. The site demonstrates a strong commitment to privacy, inclusivity, and practical technology solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Three.js, with backend projects primarily in Go, Python, and C#. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a seamless user experience with clear navigation and professional content. Security posture is moderate; while no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are evident, the absence of security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represent areas for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, but enhancing privacy compliance and security best practices would strengthen its risk profile.

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

7 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

The website positions micr0byte as a niche player within the Fediverse and open-source communities, leveraging open-source projects and community engagement as core business activities. The business model revolves around personal branding, open-source software development, and community building rather than commercial sales. The target audience includes developers, open-source contributors, and users interested in accessible technology. The presence of multiple projects with GitHub repositories and Mastodon instances indicates active engagement and a growing ecosystem. The lack of formal business registration details and physical addresses suggests a sole proprietorship or individual developer status. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes related Fediverse instances. Growth indicators include active project development and community presence. Revenue streams are not explicitly stated, likely relying on indirect benefits such as reputation and community support.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed in HTML), and no sensitive data is exposed in the content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no published privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information is provided, limiting incident response readiness. The open-source nature of the projects and availability of source code enhance transparency and trust. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators are present. Overall, the security culture appears informal but conscientious, with room for formalization and improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file with contact information for security incidents.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is properly configured with strong SSL/TLS settings and display security seals if applicable.
  5. Consider adding more formal business information and contact channels to improve trust and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Three.js for interactive elements. Backend projects are primarily developed in Go, Python, and C#, reflecting a diverse and modern tech stack. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Performance is fast with no broken elements detected. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site integrates external resources such as Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons. Technical risks are minimal but include lack of security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and formalize compliance documentation.
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.
