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

Mint Type is a small independent type foundry based in Ukraine, specializing in the design and sale of multilingual fonts with a focus on Cyrillic character sets. The company operates an e-commerce website offering a library of 96 typefaces, targeting designers and creative professionals seeking versatile font solutions. The website demonstrates consistent branding and a professional presentation, supporting its niche market position. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including jQuery, jQuery UI, and FontAwesome, with payment processing integrated via Fondy.eu. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with basic SEO and accessibility features. Security measures include HTTPS with CSRF tokens, but lack advanced security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site shows a basic but adequate posture with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent banner and terms of service present, but no dedicated privacy policy or security incident response information. The domain registration is consistent with the business age and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Mint Type presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic enhancements in security headers, privacy documentation, and accessibility could further strengthen its risk profile and user trust.

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 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

    • 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

Mint Type occupies a specialized niche in the font design and licensing market, focusing on multilingual and Cyrillic-inclusive typefaces. Its business model centers on direct e-commerce sales of font licenses to designers and creative agencies. The company benefits from a stable domain registration dating back to 2013, indicating established operations. Partnerships with payment processors like Fondy.eu support transactional reliability. The website's clear navigation and professional content suggest a customer-focused approach, though absence of phone or physical contact details may limit some customer trust aspects. Growth potential lies in expanding font offerings and enhancing digital marketing efforts. The company maintains a lean operation without subsidiaries or parent affiliations, emphasizing independent brand identity.

Security posture

The website maintains a foundational security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and CSRF protection tokens embedded in the page. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth capabilities. No public security policy or incident response contacts are provided, which may hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security events. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is present, limiting external security researcher engagement. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for the business scale but with clear opportunities for enhancement to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated privacy policy page clearly outlining data handling and GDPR compliance.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel to improve security transparency.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to reduce vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, along with FontAwesome for icons. It loads external scripts from trusted CDNs and integrates payment processing via Fondy.eu. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for viewport and description, supporting basic SEO. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization techniques detected. Mobile responsiveness is basic but functional. Accessibility features are minimal, suggesting potential improvements for inclusive design. The site does not appear to use a CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. Hosting details are limited but domain registrar information is clear. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced optimization.
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.
