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

Naldz Graphics is a well-established design blog founded in 2008 by Ronald Bien, focused on providing design tutorials, freebies, and web resources to the design community. The website targets designers, freelancers, and creative professionals seeking quality content and resources. The business model is primarily content publishing supported by advertising and digital downloads. The site maintains consistent branding and good content quality, positioning itself as a niche media outlet in the design space. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Easy Digital Downloads plugins, hosted on InterServer infrastructure. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in speed and technical modernization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC and important security headers, and does not provide explicit security policies or incident response information. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR indicators. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy with moderate security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness would enhance its security maturity and user trust.

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

6 findings 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  4. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Naldz Graphics operates as a niche content publisher in the design media sector, leveraging a long domain history and consistent content output to maintain market presence. Its revenue streams likely include advertising via BuySellAds and sales of exclusive digital downloads. The target audience includes graphic designers, freelancers, and bloggers seeking design resources. The site benefits from partnerships with advertising networks and marketing tools like MailerLite. While the business is small in size, it demonstrates stable operations with a focused content strategy and moderate digital maturity. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies, and the site maintains a direct relationship with its audience through content and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced with a valid SSL certificate, and domain transfer protections are enabled to prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces its defense-in-depth. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR indicators. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing additional security controls and formalizing security policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and enhance privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance and user data handling practices.
  4. Create and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain secure dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Easy Digital Downloads for commerce functionality. It leverages jQuery and Google Analytics for interactivity and tracking. Hosting is provided by InterServer as indicated by the nameservers. The site uses minified CSS and JS assets for performance optimization but overall loading speed is moderate. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and screen reader text but could be improved. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from further performance tuning and security hardening.
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.
