Security score

60/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website narkive.net currently serves only a standard HTTP 404 error page indicating that the requested content is not found or the site is not fully operational. The domain is registered since 2014 with OVH sas as the registrar and uses Cloudflare for DNS services. The site includes scripts for Google Analytics and Google Adsense, indicating some level of monetization and user tracking, but no privacy or cookie policies are present to inform users about data handling. There is no contact information or business details available on the page, limiting trust and credibility. Technically, the site uses older jQuery version 1.11.2 and lacks modern security headers or DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture. Overall, the site is minimally functional and lacks essential compliance and security features.

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

9 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. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Due to the lack of accessible content and business information, it is difficult to ascertain the market positioning or business model of narkive.net. The domain age suggests a mature registration, but the absence of contact details, privacy policies, or service descriptions indicates either a discontinued service or a placeholder domain. The presence of Google Adsense suggests an advertising revenue model. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identifiable from the data provided.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is weak. While HTTPS is enabled, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The site does not appear to be protected by a WAF or other advanced security mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add clear contact information and business details to improve credibility and compliance.
  5. Consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect against common web attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy jQuery 1.11.2 and standard Google Analytics and Adsense scripts for tracking and monetization. The domain is registered with OVH sas and uses Cloudflare DNS servers but does not leverage Cloudflare's WAF or security features. The site lacks modern SEO and accessibility features and shows a 404 error page as the main content, indicating either a misconfiguration or discontinued service. Performance is moderate but limited by minimal content. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic at best.
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.
