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

Ruby Press GmbH operates a specialized e-commerce platform focused on publishing and selling books related to architecture, art, and cultural spatial practices. Established in 2008 and based in Berlin, Germany, the company targets academics, architects, and cultural practitioners with a curated selection of niche publications. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with clear product listings and company information. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts, and hosted likely via IONOS SE. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent banner and privacy policy present, though GDPR compliance is not explicitly stated. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with room for security and privacy enhancements.

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 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';…

  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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ruby-press.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ruby-press.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Ruby Press holds a niche market position as a small-sized publisher and retailer specializing in architecture and cultural studies literature. Its business model centers on direct online sales through an e-commerce platform, serving a specialized audience of professionals and students in architecture and related fields. The company provides transparent business information including legal registration, VAT number, and physical address, enhancing credibility. The partnership with Modem Studio for website development indicates a professional approach to digital presence. No evidence of extensive marketing or advertising partnerships was found, suggesting a focused and organic growth strategy. The company’s longevity since 2008 and consistent domain registration support stable operations.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS and domain transfer protection status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could limit preparedness for security events. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with basic privacy practices but lacks detailed GDPR compliance statements. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small e-commerce site but would benefit from enhanced DNS security and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data subject rights.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, utilizing jQuery and Modernizr libraries for frontend enhancements. Google Fonts are used for typography, and the site includes a cookie consent banner implemented via JavaScript. Hosting is inferred to be with IONOS SE based on registrar and DNS information. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for website and search actions. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business size, though security hardening and accessibility improvements 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.
