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

The website nskm.xyz serves as a personal professional portfolio and blog for Nsukami_, a software engineer based in Dakar, Senegal. The site highlights expertise in Python programming, backend development, and community education, with affiliations to reputable organizations such as Institut Pasteur Dakar and educational institutions. The content is well-organized and targeted towards developers, students, and technology enthusiasts, emphasizing free software advocacy and community impact. Technically, the site is built using the Zola static site generator, with a clean HTML5 and CSS implementation. It is hosted under a domain registered with Gandi SAS, with HTTPS enabled, ensuring basic security. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience, though it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS but lacks important security headers and DNSSEC. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap, especially regarding GDPR. Contact is provided via a professional email address, but no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and safe for general audiences. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening would enhance its posture 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

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 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

    • 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

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

Nsukami_ positions as an individual software engineer and educator with a focus on backend development and Python programming. The business model revolves around professional services and community education, targeting developers and students primarily in Senegal. The site reflects a small-scale operation with strong community ties and advocacy for free software. Partnerships with local educational institutions and research centers enhance credibility. The absence of commercial advertising or monetization suggests a focus on professional reputation and knowledge sharing rather than direct revenue generation. Growth potential lies in expanding educational offerings and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no detected malicious content. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web threats. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve domain security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a personal portfolio but would benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve site reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Zola static site generator, which provides a lightweight and performant platform. The tech stack includes Python (as a skill focus), HTML5, and CSS with a custom theme. Hosting is managed via a domain registered with Gandi SAS, with HTTPS enabled. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile-optimized, though accessibility features are basic. No client-side JavaScript frameworks or analytics tools are detected, reducing complexity and privacy concerns. The site could benefit from improved SEO metadata and accessibility enhancements to broaden audience reach and compliance.
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.
