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

ResourceSpace, developed by Montala Limited, is an open source Digital Asset Management (DAM) software solution targeting a broad range of organizations including nonprofits, educational institutions, public sector bodies, and cultural organizations. The company positions itself as an ethical, employee-owned Certified B Corporation with a strong emphasis on security, privacy, and user empowerment. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, multimedia integration, and clear calls to action for demos and free trials. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and FontAwesome Pro, uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for accessibility and SEO. However, some security best practices like explicit security headers and public vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. From a security perspective, ResourceSpace demonstrates a solid posture with GDPR compliance, ISO 27001 certification, granular user permissions, and encrypted data handling. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies further supports compliance. The absence of WHOIS data transparency is a notable concern, potentially impacting trust, although the overall business credibility remains high based on website content and certifications. Overall, ResourceSpace presents a trustworthy and professional offering in the DAM market with strong ethical and security commitments. Strategic improvements in domain registration transparency and enhanced security header implementation would further strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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

3 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 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ResourceSpace operates in the technology sector, specifically providing open source digital asset management solutions. Its business model combines free software availability with paid hosting, support, and consultancy services. The company targets a diverse customer base including nonprofits, educational institutions, public sector organizations, and cultural bodies, leveraging its ethical positioning and certifications to differentiate itself. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous reputable organizations and integration partners. Growth indicators include a large user base, positive customer testimonials, and ongoing charitable contributions. The company maintains a strong brand identity and consistent messaging emphasizing security, privacy, and ethical business practices.

Security posture

ResourceSpace exhibits a mature security posture with adherence to GDPR, ISO 27001 certification, and implementation of granular access controls and audit trails. The use of HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA enhances security for user interactions. However, the absence of visible security headers and a public vulnerability disclosure policy suggests areas for improvement. Incident response readiness and dedicated security contact channels are not publicly documented, which could impact rapid response capabilities. Overall, the security culture appears strong but would benefit from increased transparency and formalized disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish complete WHOIS registration details or clarify domain privacy protection to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information to enhance trust and readiness.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights clearly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using widely adopted JavaScript libraries and modern web standards. It supports multimedia content with HTML5 video and is mobile responsive. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or bespoke platform. Hosting details are not explicit, limiting infrastructure assessment. Technical debt appears low given the clean structure and up-to-date libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement advanced performance optimizations to reduce load times and enhance user experience.
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.
