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

Nicholas Kusmich's website serves as a professional platform for business and marketing consulting services, targeting entrepreneurs and business owners seeking growth strategies. The site presents a consistent brand image with good design quality and user experience, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses modern web fonts and scripts for enhanced user input but does not implement DNSSEC or security headers, which are recommended for improved security. The domain is well-established, registered since 2005, indicating a stable online presence. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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

  • 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

The business operates as a small consulting entity focused on marketing and business growth. The website targets business professionals and entrepreneurs, offering consulting and training services. The domain age supports the legitimacy and experience of the business. The absence of detailed contact information and policies may limit trust for some users. The marketing ecosystem includes use of LeadConnectorHQ tools, suggesting some level of marketing automation. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the domain data.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS and domain status locks that prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. The use of third-party scripts should be monitored for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with standard security headers and DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add explicit contact information such as company email and phone number for better business credibility.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts and scripts for phone number input formatting, indicating attention to user input validation and UI. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy domain registration and Cloudflare DNS services, which provide some performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, the absence of CMS or framework indicators suggests a custom or static site. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes.
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.
