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

PozzWare.com is a personal website operated by Stefano Pozzati, offering free software, card games, video games, and art. The site targets a general audience interested in technology and creative digital content. It operates as a small-scale personal project supported by donations and monetized through Google Adsense. The website is hosted by SmarterASP.NET and uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Angular, and Unity for game development. The domain is well-established, registered since 2007, indicating a stable online presence. From a technical perspective, the site employs standard web technologies and frameworks, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, it lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. Google Analytics and Adsense are used for tracking and advertising, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism is present. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing several best practices such as security headers and incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, but improvements are recommended to enhance security and privacy compliance. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy as a personal project but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures. Strategic recommendations include implementing DNSSEC, adding privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, deploying security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

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

PozzWare.com occupies a niche as a personal project website focused on software development, gaming, and digital art. Its competitive advantage lies in offering unique card games and software tools developed by the site owner. The business model is primarily donation-supported with advertising revenue. Target customers are hobbyists and enthusiasts interested in indie games and software utilities. The long domain age and consistent branding indicate stability, though the site lacks formal business structure or certifications. Partnerships are limited to hosting providers. Growth potential depends on expanding content and improving user engagement. The site’s operations are straightforward with no complex partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no immediate vulnerabilities detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in security best practices and compliance. The use of third-party analytics and advertising services without explicit cookie consent reduces privacy compliance. There is no evidence of a formal security framework or certifications. The site owner should prioritize implementing security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy compliance measures to reduce risk and enhance user trust. Incident response readiness is currently not addressed.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but basic technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, Angular for game level editing, and Unity for game development. Hosting is provided by SmarterASP.NET, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO is basic with meta keywords and description but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks a CMS and appears to be custom-built. Technical debt is low but modernization opportunities exist in security and privacy implementations.
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.
