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

MicroWidgets operates a subscription-based SaaS business model targeting developers and website owners who prefer low-maintenance, dynamic website features. The company offers tiered pricing plans catering to different scales of website upgrades, emphasizing ease of use and customization. Its competitive advantage lies in automating widget updates without redeployments, integrating with popular platforms like GitHub and Stripe. The presence of a detailed FAQ addressing security and customization concerns indicates a customer-centric approach. The use of privacy-respecting analytics and minimal tracking aligns with modern data privacy expectations. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, suggesting an independent operation focused on product development and direct customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The FAQ explicitly addresses security concerns related to GitHub access, emphasizing read-only permissions and end-to-end encryption. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The minimal use of tracking scripts and absence of third-party ad networks reduce privacy risks. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business scale but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and disclose an incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, ensuring a performant and scalable infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with fast loading times and clean semantic markup. SEO best practices are followed with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of a privacy-focused analytics service (Simple Analytics) indicates attention to user privacy. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, but the architecture suggests a custom or managed hosting environment. Technical risks are minimal, with no detected outdated libraries or broken elements. Opportunities exist to further modernize by integrating automated security scanning and enhancing compliance tooling.
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.
