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

SafeLabeling.org is a small non-profit organization dedicated to establishing a website labeling standard aimed at helping adult-oriented websites effectively restrict access to minors. The initiative focuses on simplicity and effectiveness, targeting adult webmasters and internet filtering technologies. The website content is minimal and dated, reflecting goals set in 2006, with no modern web technologies or interactive features present. The technical infrastructure is basic, relying on simple HTML and CSS without CMS or advanced frameworks. Security posture is weak, with no HTTPS detected, no security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies, exposing the site to potential risks and reducing user trust. WHOIS data indicates the domain is legitimate, registered since 2006 with privacy protection services, consistent with the non-profit nature of the organization. Overall, the website lacks modern security and privacy compliance features, limiting its credibility and effectiveness in the current digital environment.

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

8 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

The organization operates as a niche non-profit focused on internet safety for adult content sites, promoting voluntary labeling standards. Its market position is early-stage with limited adoption beyond initial successes. The business model relies on advocacy and voluntary participation rather than commercial revenue streams. The target audience includes adult webmasters and filtering software providers. The lack of contact information and modern digital presence limits partnership and growth opportunities. The domain age supports the organization's claimed history, but the website's dated design and minimal content suggest limited ongoing investment or development.

Security posture

The website exhibits a low security maturity level with critical gaps such as absence of HTTPS, missing security headers, and no secure data collection mechanisms. There are no indicators of GDPR compliance or incident response readiness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies further weakens the site's compliance posture. These vulnerabilities could expose users to data interception and reduce trustworthiness. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified but does not compensate for the lack of technical security controls. Overall, the security posture is poor and requires significant improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  3. Introduce clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for transparency and support.
  4. Enhance website design and technical stack to modern standards including responsive design and accessibility.
  5. Deploy security headers and enable DNSSEC to improve domain and website security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML and inline CSS without any detected CMS, JavaScript libraries, or modern frameworks. There is no evidence of analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies. Performance is likely slow due to dated design and lack of optimization. Mobile optimization and accessibility are poor, limiting usability on modern devices. Hosting provider details are not available from the data. The domain uses Moniker Privacy Services for WHOIS privacy but lacks DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure is outdated and requires modernization to improve performance, security, and 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.
