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

rss2json.com is a specialized technology service providing an online API to convert RSS feeds into JSON format, targeting developers and technical users. The website offers a free online converter tool and API plans, positioning itself as a niche service provider in the RSS to JSON conversion market. The business appears small but consistent with a focused service offering since its domain registration in 2015. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript, Google Analytics, and Google Adsense for monetization and tracking, hosted on DigitalOcean with domain registration via Cloudflare. The site is mobile optimized with good design and navigation, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but missing cookie consent and terms of service. No direct contact information or incident response details are provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional but could improve in security and privacy compliance.

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

5 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 256-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

The company operates a focused API service business model, monetizing through free and paid plans for RSS to JSON conversion. Its target customers are developers and technical users needing easy RSS feed parsing. The market position is niche with limited direct competition. The use of Google Adsense indicates reliance on advertising revenue as well. Hosting on DigitalOcean and domain registration through Cloudflare are standard for tech startups. The absence of detailed contact info or certifications suggests a small-scale operation. The partnership with DigitalOcean as hosting provider is evident. Growth potential depends on expanding API features and improving compliance and trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduce its defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site does not provide explicit security policies or incident response contacts, which is a compliance gap. The use of Google Analytics and Adsense introduces moderate user tracking, but no cookie consent mechanism is present, impacting GDPR compliance. Overall, security practices are basic but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies with contact channels.
  5. Provide visible contact information to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based frontend with external scripts for Google Analytics and Adsense. It is hosted on DigitalOcean, indicating reliable infrastructure. The domain is registered with Cloudflare, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS or frameworks were explicitly detected. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS with no deprecated elements. Technical debt appears low but security enhancements are recommended.
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.
