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

Rosetta is a specialized typeface design studio and font distributor founded in 2010, focusing on global typography needs. The company offers original fonts, design, and consultancy services targeting large companies, broadcasters, academic institutions, other type foundries, and type enthusiasts worldwide. Their research-based approach has earned industry recognition and awards, positioning them as a reputable player in the typography technology sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates payment processing via Paddle and privacy-respecting analytics through Plausible. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a rich catalog of font collections and case studies. Security-wise, the domain uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The WHOIS data shows a long-standing domain with clientTransferProhibited status, supporting legitimacy. However, privacy compliance could be improved with explicit GDPR statements and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good security posture but could enhance privacy and incident response 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

Rosetta operates in the technology sector specializing in typography and font design. Their business model revolves around font creation, distribution, and consultancy services, catering to a diverse audience including large enterprises and academic institutions. The company maintains a strong market position supported by industry awards and research recognition. Revenue streams likely include font sales, licensing, and consultancy projects. The partnership with shop.rosettatype.com for e-commerce indicates a streamlined sales channel. The company shows growth through continuous font releases and active participation in conferences and lectures. Their ecosystem includes collaborations with other foundries and clients such as broadcasters and Google. Strategic observations suggest a focus on multilingual and variable fonts, addressing global typography challenges.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The domain's clientTransferProhibited status adds protection against unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response plan and no security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is basic, with no cookie consent mechanism and limited GDPR disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a clear cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements and data retention details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates third-party services such as Paddle for payment processing and Plausible for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and features a well-organized navigation structure. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Hosting appears stable with Gransy, s.r.o. as registrar and nameservers. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by enabling DNSSEC and improving privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
