Security score

58/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website outdatedbrowser.com provides a free utility tool aimed at developers and desktop users to detect outdated browsers and encourage updating to newer versions. The site is modest in scope, focusing on browser version awareness and update recommendations. It is mirrored on bestvpn.org, indicating a partnership or hosting arrangement. The technical infrastructure is based on standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and Modernizr, with Google Analytics integrated for user tracking. Mobile optimization is basic, reflecting the desktop-centric nature of the tool. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers or advanced policies, and no HTTPS enforcement details available from the content. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and no visible consent mechanisms. Business credibility is moderate but limited by lack of contact information and formal policies.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
  • 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 in the technology sector as a small entity providing a niche developer tool. Its market position is that of a utility provider for browser update awareness, targeting developers and desktop users. The business model appears to be based on free tool provision, possibly supported by partnerships such as with bestvpn.org. The website links to major browser vendors and GitHub, indicating an open-source or community-driven approach. There is no evidence of revenue streams or commercial transactions on the site. The partnership with bestvpn.org suggests some ecosystem integration. Growth indicators and detailed company data are not available.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries but lacks important security headers and visible HTTPS enforcement details. There are no forms or data collection points, reducing attack surface. However, absence of privacy and cookie policies and incident response information indicates compliance gaps. The use of Google Analytics without consent mechanisms raises privacy concerns. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security headers, privacy compliance improvements, and formal incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide and clearly indicated.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to broaden usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery 1.10.1 and Modernizr 2.6.2, which are somewhat dated but functional. The site is mirrored on bestvpn.org, indicating possible hosting or content distribution strategy. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA roles used. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. The site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries and limited mobile support. There are opportunities to modernize the tech stack and improve performance and accessibility.
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.
