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. 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 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

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

poz.pet operates as a small personal website without commercial business activities. The site targets general internet users interested in Linux, programming, and gaming communities. There are no clear revenue streams or partnerships. The business model is personal branding and hobbyist content sharing. The site participates in multiple webrings, indicating community engagement. The lack of formal policies and contact information suggests limited business maturity. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the site's personal nature. No suspicious or fraudulent patterns are detected. The site’s market position is niche and non-commercial.

Security posture

The security posture of poz.pet is basic. The domain uses clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses, which protect against unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security are present. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or advanced security mechanisms. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. The site uses minimal tracking via Plausible Analytics, which respects privacy better than many alternatives. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from improved security controls and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTPS with HSTS to ensure secure communications.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Publish privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  5. Provide contact information and incident response details for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic web technologies: HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses a custom script for analytics (Plausible Analytics) hosted on a subdomain. The site is hosted under Porkbun LLC's DNS infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. SEO optimization is minimal but includes Open Graph metadata for social sharing. No CMS or frameworks detected. The site uses simple navigation with multiple internal links and participates in several webrings, indicating community integration. Technical debt is low due to the site's simplicity, but modernization opportunities include adding HTTPS enforcement and security headers.
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.
