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

Mojeek is a UK-based alternative web search engine emphasizing privacy and unbiased search results. It offers a variety of search services including web, image, and news search, along with a search API and advertising platform. The business model relies on community and partner support, positioning itself as a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream search engines. The website content is well-structured, professionally designed, and optimized for mobile devices, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. While the performance is moderate and mobile optimization is good, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers implementation. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. The site avoids tracking and analytics scripts, aligning with its privacy-centric ethos. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is noted despite the privacy focus. WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, supporting the legitimacy of the domain and business. Overall, Mojeek presents a trustworthy and privacy-respecting search engine platform with a solid business foundation. Strategic improvements in security policies, cookie consent, and security headers would enhance its security posture and compliance standing.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

  9. (i) HR security, access control and asset management: One indicator
  10. (j) Multi-factor authentication and secured communications: Not visible from outside

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Without HSTS, a visitor who types the address or follows an http:// link makes a first request over plain HTTP, which an attacker on the same network can intercept and keep unencrypted (SSL stripping).

      What to do: Send "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" on HTTPS responses once every subdomain works over HTTPS (use max-age=31536000 alone otherwise).

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      Weak SPF Policy

      The SPF record ends in "?all" (or has no "all"), so mail from unlisted servers gets a neutral result and SPF gives no protection against spoofing.

      What to do: End the record with "-all", or "~all" while you confirm every sender is listed.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      The DMARC policy is p=none, so mail that fails authentication is still delivered; the record only collects reports.

      What to do: Review the aggregate reports, then move to p=quarantine and finally p=reject.

  3. Website hygiene

    Outdated scripts and CMS versions are how most small-business sites get compromised; a security.txt file tells researchers where to report what they find.

    • Medium

      Outdated JavaScript library with known vulnerabilities

      jquery 3.2.1 (loaded from https://www.mojeek.com/js/vendor/jquery-3.2.1.min.js?v=1.264) has 3 published vulnerabilities: CVE-2019-11358, GHSA-6c3j-c64m-qhgq, CVE-2020-11023, GHSA-jpcq-cgw6-v4j6, CVE-2020-11022, GHSA-gxr4-xjj5-5px2.

      What to do: Upgrade jquery to 3.5.0 or later and retest the pages that use it.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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

Mojeek operates in the technology sector as a small-sized company focused on providing an alternative search engine experience prioritizing user privacy and unbiased results. Its competitive advantage lies in its no-tracking policy and community-supported business model. Revenue streams include advertising via Mojeek Ads and offering a web search API. The target customers are privacy-conscious internet users and developers seeking search API services. The company maintains a modest but consistent brand presence with active community engagement through blogs and forums. Growth indicators include expanding product offerings such as Focus and API services. Partnerships appear limited but focused on community and privacy advocacy platforms.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS but lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No public security or incident response policies were found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are published. Data protection practices align with privacy claims, with no tracking or analytics scripts detected. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible. Compliance with GDPR is implied via a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are absent. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and security researchers.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet modern standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery 3.2.1. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations such as canonical links and OpenSearch integration. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected, suggesting a custom or self-hosted solution. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updated libraries and enhanced security configurations.
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.
