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

Rascals Themes is a small technology business specializing in the development and sale of creative, easy-to-use WordPress themes. Established in 2017 and based in Poland, the company positions itself as a niche provider focusing on usability and outstanding customer support. Their offerings include WordPress themes, support services, and customization options, targeting WordPress users seeking professional and responsive themes. The website is well-designed with a modern React-based frontend, good mobile optimization, and clear navigation, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Hosting is provided via seohost.pl with custom nameservers, and the domain registration is consistent and credible. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security posture. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers limits immediate communication channels, relying solely on a contact form. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content. The overall risk is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but compliance gaps and security best practices should be addressed to enhance trust and regulatory adherence. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security culture 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

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"

      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.

Business context

Business profile

Rascals Themes operates in the competitive WordPress theme market, leveraging a business model focused on theme sales complemented by support and customization services. Their market positioning is that of a specialized provider emphasizing ease of use and customer satisfaction. The company targets WordPress users who value professional design and responsive themes. Revenue streams likely derive from theme purchases and paid customization. The company maintains a consistent brand image and has a testimonial indicating positive customer experiences. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident, and the company appears to operate independently. Growth indicators include regular theme updates and new layouts. The lack of direct contact details and limited policy disclosures suggest a small-scale operation with potential for maturity in compliance and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. Overall, the security culture appears nascent, with opportunities to adopt best practices and improve compliance to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  5. Enhance contact options by providing verified company emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with CSS and JavaScript, leveraging Google Fonts for typography. The hosting is managed via seohost.pl with custom nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts indicates minimal data collection. The domain is stable and appropriately aged for the business. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to DNS attacks and common web vulnerabilities. The site is well-structured but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance optimizations.
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.
