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

modmore operates a niche business model centered on software product sales and support within the MODX CMS community. Revenue streams include premium licenses for MODX extras, subscription services for remote site management, and consulting. The company targets professional developers and agencies requiring advanced MODX tools and support. Its competitive advantage lies in combining premium and open source offerings, strong community involvement, and high customer satisfaction. Partnerships with platforms like SiteDash and MODX-related media enhance its ecosystem. The business is small-sized but well-established with consistent branding and transparent legal and tax information. Growth indicators include active product releases, a newsletter, and a blog with regular updates.

Security posture

modmore exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced site-wide, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of Cloudflare DNS adds resilience. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved. Third-party scripts such as Google Analytics, Helpscout Beacon, and Disqus are used responsibly with privacy policies in place. Forms are secured with required fields and no obvious vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is strong for a small technology company but could benefit from formalized security documentation and enhanced DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, leveraging HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery with additional libraries like Modernizr and Foundation for UI components. Hosting is stable with Cloudflare DNS and registrar services from Hosting Concepts B.V. Performance is fast with mobile optimization and responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of SVG icons and asynchronous script loading improves user experience. Technical debt appears minimal, though updating jQuery from version 1.9.1 could be considered. The currency conversion feature and newsletter integration demonstrate advanced functionality. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals effectively with room for incremental modernization.
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.
