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

progsbase.com is a technology-focused website operated by Inductive AS, offering future-proof software development tools and services aimed at business automation. The platform provides a library of programs, command line clients, and private repository management under a subscription business model. The website targets software developers and businesses seeking stable automation solutions. Technically, the site uses Bootstrap for responsive design and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced accessibility features and SEO enhancements. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no visible security headers or explicit security policies published. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear professional and consistent with a small technology company based in Norway. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved security practices and clearer domain registration transparency.

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

Inductive AS positions progsbase.com as a niche technology provider specializing in long-term business automation software. The business model relies on subscriptions for private repositories and access to a program library. The company maintains a professional online presence with published documentation, pricing, and tutorials. The target market includes developers and enterprises needing stable automation tools. The partnership with Inductive AS as the parent company strengthens credibility. The presence of YouTube interviews and an Amazon-published book indicates efforts to build thought leadership. However, the missing WHOIS data and lack of explicit privacy and security policies may hinder trust among cautious customers. Growth potential exists if security and compliance transparency improve.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking without explicit cookie consent mechanisms, indicating partial GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected in the HTML. The missing WHOIS registration data is a significant red flag that impacts overall trust. To improve security posture, the company should implement security headers, publish security policies, and clarify domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and build trust.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO by adding ARIA attributes and structured metadata.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end framework (Bootstrap) ensuring responsive design and moderate performance. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site lacks a CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. No hosting provider information is available from the HTML. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus and content sections. No broken links or errors were detected in the provided HTML. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy implementation. The site would benefit from improved SEO metadata and accessibility features to enhance user experience and search engine ranking.
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.
