Risk levelMedium

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

RequireJS is an established open source JavaScript module loader project founded in 2010, targeting web developers seeking modular script loading to improve code quality and performance. The website provides documentation, downloads, and community links but lacks formal privacy, cookie, or security policies. Technically, the site uses older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.4.4 and Dojo 1.4, which may introduce security risks. The domain is privacy protected, consistent with open source project practices, and hosted on Hover.com nameservers. Security posture is moderate with no HTTPS or security headers data provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security practices.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

RequireJS occupies a niche in the JavaScript development ecosystem as a module loader optimized for browser and other JS environments. Its open source business model relies on community contributions and transparency via GitHub. The project targets developers needing modular script loading and optimization tools. The website links to community support channels like Stack Overflow and social media, indicating active engagement. The domain age and privacy protection align with a mature open source project. However, the lack of formal policies and contact information limits business transparency. There are no indications of commercial revenue streams or partnerships beyond community and open source collaboration.

Security posture

The security maturity of the RequireJS website is moderate. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers and updates but lacks DNSSEC. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No security headers or HTTPS configuration details were found in the provided data, indicating potential gaps in transport security and content protection. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which reduces readiness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the site would benefit from modernizing its security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement and publish privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack including RequireJS, Dojo Toolkit 1.4, and jQuery 1.4.4, which are outdated and may pose security risks. The hosting is via Hover.com nameservers, indicating a standard hosting provider. The site is structured with static HTML and JavaScript, with no detected CMS. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. The site lacks modern analytics or tracking tools, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, with opportunities for modernization and improved security.
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.
