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

Mutant Standard is a small creative project focused on delivering an experimental emoji set with diverse and inclusive themes such as LGBT, queer, furry, and cyberpunk. The website serves as a distribution and demo platform for these emoji assets, targeting niche communities interested in alternative emoji representations. The business operates independently with no visible parent or subsidiary companies and maintains a consistent brand identity centered around creativity and inclusivity. Technically, the website is built with standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, SVG, and optimized image formats like WebP. It is mobile responsive and offers a good user experience with clear navigation. However, the site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms and does not implement common security headers or analytics tools, indicating a lightweight and minimalistic technical infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by domain registrar and modern web standards) but lacks explicit security headers and privacy policies, which reduces its compliance posture. No forms or data collection mechanisms are present, minimizing attack surface but also limiting user engagement features. The domain is privacy protected but legitimate, with a registration date consistent with the business age. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the website is a niche, well-designed creative project with moderate technical maturity and limited security controls. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance trust and security posture.

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

8 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 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

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

Mutant Standard occupies a niche market segment focused on alternative and inclusive emoji sets, appealing to communities such as LGBT, queer, furry, and cyberpunk enthusiasts. Its business model appears to be centered on creative content distribution, likely free or donation-supported via platforms like Ko-fi. The project benefits from a consistent brand and active social media presence on decentralized platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky, which aligns with its community-oriented approach. The lack of formal business contact information and policies suggests a small-scale operation with limited commercial ambitions but strong community engagement. Growth potential may depend on expanding distribution channels and formalizing compliance and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that mitigate common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The absence of contact information for incident response or security concerns reduces transparency and readiness. No forms or user input fields reduce exposure to injection or data leakage vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, suitable for a small creative project but requiring enhancements for broader trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement and improve the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean, modern HTML5 and CSS3 codebase with optimized assets such as SVG icons and WebP images for performance. Fonts are self-hosted with WOFF2 and WOFF formats, improving load times and compatibility. The site is mobile responsive with media queries adjusting layout and typography for various screen sizes. No heavy JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected, indicating a lightweight static site approach. Hosting appears to be via Namecheap DNS servers with no advanced CDN or cloud hosting detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Technical debt is low but modernization opportunities include adding security headers, structured data, and enhanced SEO metadata.
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.
