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

Orpetron is a specialized online platform established in 2020 that honors outstanding web design projects globally. It serves as a source of inspiration for web designers and creative professionals by showcasing award-winning websites. The platform operates on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Elementor, WooCommerce, and various marketing and analytics tools. The website demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, positioning itself as a niche authority in the web design awards space. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some security headers, though DNSSEC is not enabled and advanced security policies are not disclosed. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, Orpetron presents a credible and professional business with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

8 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 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

    • 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 · 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

Orpetron targets web designers, agencies, and digital creatives seeking recognition and inspiration. Its business model likely includes submission fees, advertising, or sponsorships. The domain age and registration details align with the business timeline, enhancing credibility. The platform maintains active social media channels and uses structured data for SEO benefits. However, the lack of explicit privacy and security policies may impact trust among privacy-conscious users. The company appears small but focused, with consistent branding and a clear market niche. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and includes a Content-Security-Policy header to upgrade insecure requests. It uses security-related plugins and scripts but lacks DNSSEC and other recommended security headers like HSTS or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. Forms are present but no explicit cookie consent or GDPR compliance mechanisms are detected, indicating potential compliance gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking and cookies.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Add additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Develop and disclose an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and WooCommerce, supported by plugins like Ultimate Member and Jet Engine. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site uses lazy loading and performance optimization plugins like Perfmatters. The hosting appears to be via GoDaddy, consistent with the registrar and nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features and advanced security configurations.
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.
