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

Salami Day is a niche informational website dedicated to celebrating the annual event of Salami Day on September 7th. The site provides content about the history of the event, fan art, merchandise sales via a third-party shop, and various salami-related links and ideas. The target audience is salami enthusiasts and general food lovers interested in deli meats. The business model is primarily promotional and community engagement with some monetization through merchandise sales. The website is small scale with a long-standing domain since 2008, consistent with the event's origin in 2006. Technically, the site uses older YUI JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics for tracking, and Google AdSense for advertising. It is hosted on NearlyFreeSpeech.net, a small hosting provider. The site lacks modern technical features such as HTTPS enforcement, DNSSEC, and security headers, and does not use structured data or social media integrations. Performance and mobile optimization are basic, with moderate SEO and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site does not enforce HTTPS, loads scripts over HTTP, and lacks security headers, which poses risks to user privacy and data integrity. No forms or sensitive data collection reduce attack surface but also limit interactivity. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. WHOIS data is consistent and legitimate, with no privacy protection masking and a domain age appropriate for the business history. Overall, the site is functional and serves its niche purpose but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance trustworthiness and user safety.

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

9 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 website occupies a niche market position as a cultural and food celebration platform focused on salami. It leverages community engagement through fan art and merchandise sales, primarily targeting enthusiasts and casual consumers of deli meats. The business model is informational with ancillary revenue from merchandise via a third-party shop. The lack of social media presence and limited contact information suggest a small-scale operation with modest growth ambitions. The partnership with Proartweb Studio for fan art and the use of a third-party merchandise platform indicate a lean operational model with external collaborations. The site’s longevity and domain age support credibility but the absence of formal business information and certifications limits its professional stature.

Security posture

The security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS enforcement, lack of DNSSEC, and missing security headers. Loading scripts over HTTP exposes users to man-in-the-middle attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The site does not collect sensitive user data, which reduces risk but also limits functionality. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries may introduce vulnerabilities. Incident response and security policies are not documented. Overall, the site is at risk of security and privacy issues that could undermine user trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to protect domain name resolution integrity.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries to modern, supported versions to reduce vulnerabilities.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  6. Consider adding a security policy and incident response contact information.
  7. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience.
  8. Integrate social media links and additional contact methods to increase engagement and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy YUI JavaScript libraries and Google services for analytics and advertising. It is hosted on NearlyFreeSpeech.net, a small hosting provider. The site lacks modern CMS or frameworks and does not use structured data or Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. The absence of HTTPS and security headers is a significant technical deficiency. The site’s design and navigation are basic but functional. There is opportunity for modernization by adopting responsive design, modern JavaScript frameworks, and enhanced security configurations.
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.
