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

Nevada King is a Canadian junior mining exploration company focused on developing a high-grade oxide gold discovery in Nevada, USA, primarily through its Atlanta Gold Mine project. The company targets investors and stakeholders interested in gold mining and exploration, providing regular updates, technical reports, and presentations to support its market positioning. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with the business profile, and no suspicious indicators were found.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 · 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

Nevada King operates in the energy sector, specifically gold mining exploration, with a business model centered on resource development and investor relations. The company leverages technical drilling results and NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates to attract investment. Its market position is that of an emerging junior miner with growth potential. The website supports this with detailed project information, news updates, and multimedia presentations. The company uses modern marketing and analytics tools to engage its audience but could improve transparency around privacy and security policies. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content or linked domains.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and publicly available security or incident response policies, which are important for compliance and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and detailed privacy compliance measures indicates gaps in GDPR adherence. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and improve data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google reCAPTCHA integrated. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and caching/minification for CSS and JS assets, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are limited but domain registrar is Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve trust.
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.
