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

The website www.secretcityrailroad.com is a Japanese-language affiliate marketing site focused on niacinamide cosmetic products, providing product rankings, reviews, and educational content. It targets Japanese consumers interested in skincare and anti-aging solutions. The business model relies on affiliate commissions through links to popular skincare brands. Technically, the site uses standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. It employs third-party affiliate and tracking scripts but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but no visible security headers or privacy policies, and no forms collecting sensitive data. WHOIS data is missing, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and content-rich but lacks transparency and compliance documentation, which impacts trust and privacy compliance scores.

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. 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 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

    • 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

The site occupies a niche in the Japanese skincare affiliate market, focusing on niacinamide products. Its competitive advantage lies in targeted content and affiliate partnerships with major skincare brands. Revenue streams are primarily affiliate commissions. The target audience is skincare consumers in Japan, particularly those seeking anti-aging and skin health products. The site links extensively to other topical skincare domains, suggesting a broad partnership or content network. However, lack of company contact information and WHOIS transparency limits business credibility. Growth potential depends on expanding trust signals and compliance adherence.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic; HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data exposure or vulnerable forms are present. However, the absence of security headers and privacy/cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, especially under GDPR or similar regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate privacy risks. The missing WHOIS data further reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site should improve security headers, privacy disclosures, and incident response readiness to enhance security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company email and phone number to enhance business credibility.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts for security and privacy risks and minimize tracking where possible.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS registration transparency issues to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technical stack with static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It includes JSON-LD structured data for SEO and affiliate marketing scripts from A8.net and AFI-b.com. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not available. The site could benefit from improved mobile responsiveness, accessibility enhancements, and modern security practices such as security headers and 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.
