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

The website 'Niko's Webpage' is a personal hobbyist site created by an individual named Niko, focusing on interests such as IT, coding, computing, radio, gaming, and programming projects. The site serves as a personal portfolio and social hub linking to various related hobbyist and friend sites. The domain is very new, registered in August 2024, and consistent with the personal nature of the content. The site does not represent a commercial business entity and lacks formal business information or contact details. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML and CSS, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS but without advanced security headers or CMS frameworks. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks SEO and accessibility enhancements. No analytics or advertising technologies are detected, indicating minimal tracking or marketing efforts. From a security perspective, the site lacks privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The domain does not use DNSSEC, and SSL/TLS configuration details are not provided, which may indicate basic or incomplete HTTPS implementation. No forms or data collection points are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. Overall, the website is safe for general audiences, with no adult or explicit content. The risk profile is low given the personal nature and limited functionality, but improvements in security posture and privacy compliance are recommended to enhance trust and protection.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

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

This site is a personal project rather than a commercial business, so traditional business intelligence metrics such as market positioning or revenue streams do not apply. The target audience is hobbyists and friends interested in IT, gaming, and programming. The site links extensively to a network of personal contacts and related hobbyist domains, indicating a community-oriented approach. There is no evidence of monetization or commercial partnerships. The business model is essentially personal branding and sharing of interests and projects. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are minimal and informal.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is low to moderate. The absence of security headers, privacy policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited security governance. The domain is protected by Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC and explicit HTTPS enforcement details. No forms or user input fields reduce exposure to common web vulnerabilities. There is no incident response or security contact information provided. Compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations is not evident. The site would benefit from implementing basic security best practices such as security headers, HTTPS enforcement, and privacy notices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS redirects.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish privacy and cookie policies to improve transparency and compliance with data protection regulations.
  5. Create a security.txt file to provide vulnerability disclosure contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses simple HTML5 and CSS without any detected CMS or JavaScript frameworks. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare DNS but no CDN or advanced hosting platform is identified. The site loads moderate content including images and external links but lacks performance optimization indicators. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. SEO is minimal with only a title tag and meta viewport. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal technical complexity and low data collection. The site could benefit from modernizing with responsive design frameworks and improved SEO metadata.
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.
