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

MOLE Cheap operates a focused Mac utility website offering a native application designed to scan and clear app caches on macOS 14 and later. The business targets Mac users seeking to optimize disk space through controlled cache management. The product is marketed with a simple one-time license model allowing use on two Macs, emphasizing user control and transparency. The website content is well-structured, professional, and provides comprehensive guides and FAQs to assist users. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks including React and Next.js, delivering fast performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and local scanning ensuring user data privacy; however, some security headers are missing and no formal security policy is published. Privacy compliance is moderate, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site demonstrates a trustworthy and professional presence with minimal risk factors.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      There is no DMARC record at _dmarc.mole.cheap, so receivers have no instruction for mail that fails SPF and DKIM.

      What to do: Publish a TXT record at _dmarc.mole.cheap, starting with "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@mole.cheap" and moving to p=quarantine or p=reject once reports look clean.

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

The company positions itself in the niche market of Mac utility software, focusing on cache cleaning to free up disk space. Its competitive advantage lies in user control, transparency, and a straightforward licensing model without subscriptions. Revenue is generated through one-time license sales delivered via email. The target customers are individual Mac users, particularly those with Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14+. The business ecosystem appears self-contained with no detected partnerships or subsidiaries. The website content and guides indicate a focus on educating users, enhancing customer trust and reducing support overhead. Growth potential may be limited by the niche focus but benefits from clear market demand for Mac maintenance tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and local scanning of user files, ensuring no upload of sensitive data. User actions such as cache deletion require explicit confirmation, reducing risk of accidental data loss. However, the absence of security headers like Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. Privacy practices are generally sound, but lack of cookie consent and detailed data retention policies indicate room for improvement. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from formalizing security policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy including incident response contacts.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism if any cookies or tracking are used.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and DPO contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and optimized asset loading for performance. The use of SVG icons and asynchronous JavaScript chunks indicates attention to efficient resource usage. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Hosting details are not explicit but performance is fast. Technical risks are minimal, though the lack of some security headers and cookie management could pose compliance challenges. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
