Security score

64/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website at puzzle.com is currently inaccessible, returning only a minimal 'Bad Request' message with no meaningful content or metadata. The domain is long-standing, registered since 1992 with Key-Systems GmbH, and uses Cloudflare DNS servers, indicating a legitimate registration and hosting setup. However, the presence of Cloudflare nameservers combined with the minimal HTML response suggests that the site is behind a Web Application Firewall or security mechanism that is blocking access or filtering requests. Due to this, no business information, privacy policies, or contact details are available for analysis. From a technical perspective, the site appears to be protected by Cloudflare, but no further details on technology stack, CMS, or performance can be determined. The lack of security headers and absence of SSL configuration details in the provided data limit the ability to assess the security posture fully. The domain's WHOIS data shows multiple domain status locks, which is a positive indicator against unauthorized domain transfers. Security-wise, the site currently lacks visible security best practices such as security headers or incident response contact information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site scores very low on content quality, technical implementation, security posture, privacy compliance, and business credibility due to the lack of accessible content and policies. Strategically, it is recommended to resolve the access issues to allow proper content delivery and policy disclosures. Implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing privacy and cookie policies will improve compliance and trust. Adding clear contact and incident response information will enhance transparency and security readiness.

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

7 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

Due to the lack of accessible website content, no detailed business intelligence can be derived. The domain is old and registered with a reputable registrar, suggesting an established entity. The use of Cloudflare indicates a focus on security and performance. No information on market positioning, business model, revenue streams, or partnerships is available. The absence of contact details and policies limits insights into customer segments or growth indicators.

Security posture

The current security posture is difficult to assess fully due to blocked content and lack of visible security headers or SSL details. The domain uses Cloudflare DNS, which likely provides some level of protection including WAF capabilities. Multiple domain status locks are in place, reducing risk of unauthorized domain changes. However, no incident response contacts, vulnerability disclosure policies, or security certifications are visible. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps. Overall, the security maturity appears low based on available data, with recommendations to improve transparency and implement standard security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve website accessibility issues to allow full content delivery and user access.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to meet GDPR and other regulatory requirements.
  4. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear contact information including incident response and abuse contacts to improve trust and security readiness.

  7. No analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts detected.
  8. No security headers or SSL configuration details available from provided data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS servers, indicating use of a CDN and potential WAF protection. No CMS or frameworks are detectable due to lack of accessible content. The HTML returned is minimal and indicates a 'Bad Request' error, suggesting either misconfiguration or intentional blocking. No analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts are present. Performance and mobile optimization cannot be assessed. The domain is well aged and registered with multiple domain status locks, which is positive. Technical debt or modernization opportunities cannot be evaluated without further content access.
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.
