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. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive font library, brand recognition, and integration with Monotype's font foundry network. Revenue streams primarily come from font license sales and webfont subscriptions. The target customers include creative professionals and enterprises requiring licensed fonts. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem, including Shopify for e-commerce and various analytics and marketing service providers. Growth indicators include continuous updates to font offerings and adoption of advanced search and personalization technologies. Strategic observations suggest maintaining innovation in user experience and expanding global reach through multilingual support.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the analyzed content. The use of reputable third-party services is well managed, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is recommended. The absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response plan is a gap that could be addressed to enhance transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing security governance documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add explicit security contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ domains.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.

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.
