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

owo.cafe is an independent Mastodon server providing a decentralized social media platform focused on a transinclusive, antifascist, and anticapitalist community centered around hobbies such as gaming, cinema, books, and technology. The platform leverages the open-source Mastodon software to offer users a safe and engaging environment within the fediverse. The website is well-structured with good content quality and consistent branding, targeting a niche audience interested in decentralized social networking and hobby discussions. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including React and ES modules, delivering a moderate performance with good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, though improvements are needed in DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms and terms of service. Contact information is limited to an administrative email. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained but could enhance compliance and security 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.

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 community-driven technology entity within the decentralized social media sector. It positions itself as a safe space for diverse hobbyists and socially conscious users, leveraging Mastodon's open-source platform to differentiate from mainstream social networks. Revenue streams are not explicit, suggesting a non-commercial or community-supported model. The target audience includes Spanish-speaking users interested in niche hobbies and social justice values. The domain registration and hosting align with the business's Spanish roots, and the use of a Whois proxy is typical for privacy. The ecosystem includes links to Mastodon official sites and a community wiki, indicating active engagement with the broader fediverse. Growth indicators include a modest active user base and ongoing content updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited reduces risk of unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, limiting transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The absence of cookie consent and terms of service indicates gaps in compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small community platform but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the web application.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish clear terms of service and a security policy including incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Consider regular security audits and vulnerability scanning to proactively identify and mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Mastodon platform using React and modern JavaScript modules, indicating a contemporary technology stack. The site loads resources from a dedicated CDN (cdn.owo.cafe) and uses multiple favicon and apple-touch-icon sizes for device compatibility. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or heavy assets. Accessibility is basic with some alt text encouragement but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no structured JSON-LD detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly stated but domain registration is with a Spanish registrar. No analytics or advertising scripts were detected, suggesting minimal tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a community platform but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO practices.
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.
