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

PFC operates a membership-based media service platform providing account management, technical support, and billing assistance to its customers. The website facilitates user login issues, password retrieval, membership cancellation, and connects users with various payment processors. The business appears to be a small-sized media service provider founded in 2015, with a consistent brand presence and a focus on customer support. Technically, the website uses common web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Slick Carousel, hosted on MojoHost servers. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and performance but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; while forms use POST and no sensitive data is exposed, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security score. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy with consistent registration details and no privacy protection, supporting trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.

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

6 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 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

PFC targets members of its media services with a subscription-based business model. The company leverages partnerships with multiple payment processors such as Epoch, CCBill, Segpay, and Vendo, indicating a robust payment ecosystem. The business model focuses on recurring memberships with trial and full membership options. The website content emphasizes customer support and billing assistance, suggesting a customer-centric approach. The presence of a Zendesk widget indicates investment in support infrastructure. Market positioning appears niche within media membership services, with a small company size and no visible parent or subsidiary companies. Growth potential may be linked to expanding membership base and improving digital service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS (implied but not explicitly confirmed in HTML), and forms use POST methods for sensitive data submission. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options weakens the security posture. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet modern standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve SSL/TLS configuration.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap framework with jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components and sliders. Font Awesome is used for icons. The site is hosted on MojoHost as indicated by the nameservers. The HTML is well-structured with responsive design elements and smooth scrolling features. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. SEO is basic with meta charset and viewport tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are minimal but basic navigation and form labeling are present. There is no CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site. The site uses Zendesk for customer support integration. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with modern SEO, accessibility, and security best 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.
