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

Read.cv is a small technology platform focused on showcasing creative and professional portfolios. The website announces the winding down of Read.cv as it joins Perplexity to further the mission of making knowledge more accessible. The platform offers profile hosting, content publishing, and domain registration services. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted likely on Vercel and Google Cloud infrastructure, with good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks published security policies and privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve compliance 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

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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Read.cv operates in the technology sector targeting creative professionals and knowledge seekers. Its business model revolves around providing a platform for personal and creative expression, including domain registration and content hosting. The company has a niche market position with a loyal community but is transitioning by merging with Perplexity, a partner focused on knowledge accessibility. The partnership ecosystem includes hello.cv for domain management. The platform's growth indicators include a four-year operational history and a clear strategic pivot. Revenue streams likely include domain registrations and premium services. The company maintains consistent branding and communicates transparently about its transition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts, which are important for compliance and trust. There is no evidence of GDPR compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners or privacy policies. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no apparent vulnerabilities. The absence of contact information for security incidents and vulnerability disclosure reduces readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with formal policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks for server-side rendering and static export. Hosting appears to be on Vercel or similar platforms with Google Cloud services integration (Firebase, Cloudinary). Performance is optimized with deferred and async script loading, preconnect hints, and preloading of CSS assets. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive design. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with room for accessibility enhancements.
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.
