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

MyFonts is a leading e-commerce platform specializing in the sale and licensing of fonts, serving designers, typographers, and businesses worldwide. Owned by Monotype, it offers a vast catalog of classic and contemporary fonts with a strong market position as a trusted font marketplace. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages Shopify as its CMS and e-commerce platform, integrating advanced search (Algolia), analytics (Google Analytics, Datadog, VWO), and marketing tools (Adobe Launch, Sailthru). Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and reputable third-party services, though explicit security headers could be verified and a public vulnerability disclosure policy added. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the brand and operational evidence. Overall, MyFonts demonstrates a robust, secure, and user-friendly online presence with extensive tracking and marketing integrations.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

MyFonts operates as a large-scale e-commerce business within the typography and digital font industry, targeting creative professionals and enterprises needing font licenses. Its business model is based on direct sales and licensing of fonts, supported by a global digital storefront hosted on Shopify. The company benefits from Monotype's backing, enhancing trust and market reach. The platform's integration with multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and conversion optimization. The presence of affiliate marketing and retargeting services suggests a mature marketing ecosystem. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site implies a preference for managed customer interactions via forms and support portals. The site’s technical sophistication and comprehensive policies position it well for continued growth and compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing is evident, though it introduces a moderate risk surface that requires ongoing monitoring. Security headers are likely managed by Shopify but should be explicitly confirmed. The site lacks a public security or incident response policy, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to privacy or registrar configurations. Overall, the site follows good security practices but could improve by publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy to improve transparency and security culture.
  2. Verify and explicitly set Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to harden the site against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly audit all third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Add anti-CSRF tokens and input validation on all forms to prevent injection and forgery attacks.
  5. Consider publishing WHOIS data or ensuring domain registration details are consistent with the brand to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, leveraging its robust e-commerce infrastructure and content management capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Algolia for search functionality, and integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Adobe Launch, Datadog RUM, and Visual Website Optimizer. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. Hosting is managed by Shopify, ensuring high availability and security. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires vigilant security management. SEO and accessibility practices appear solid, contributing to a high-quality user 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.
