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

Showit, Inc. operates a mature and well-established drag & drop website builder platform tailored for creative professionals such as designers, marketers, and content creators. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including template marketplaces, WordPress blog integration, and strong customer support, positioning itself as a key player in the website builder market. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies and integrates with popular platforms like WordPress, Vimeo, and YouTube, providing a rich user experience with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and lack of HTTPS, which significantly impacts the site's security posture. The presence of SPF and DMARC records with abuse reporting indicates some level of email security awareness. Overall, while the business and content quality are strong, the security deficiencies present a notable risk that should be addressed promptly to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

    • 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

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

Showit targets a niche market of creative professionals seeking flexible and visually appealing website solutions. Its business model is SaaS-based, generating revenue through subscription plans with clear pricing tiers and free trials. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent messaging and active engagement across multiple social media platforms. Partnerships with WordPress and integration with various business tools enhance its competitive advantage. The domain's 14-year age and strong domain protection measures support its legitimacy. The company emphasizes customer support excellence, as evidenced by testimonials and dedicated support teams. Strategic focus on ease of use and creative freedom aligns well with its target audience's needs.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL/TLS certificates, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While DNS-based email security measures like SPF and DMARC are correctly configured, the absence of modern TLS protocols and security headers such as HSTS reduces overall protection. No critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, and no subdomain takeover risks are present. The site employs secure forms with validation, but the lack of encrypted transport is a major concern. Incident response contact is available via DMARC abuse email, indicating some readiness for security incidents. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is recommended to elevate security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols.
  3. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate validation performance and security.
  5. Review and enhance session resumption mechanisms to improve security and user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on WP Engine and uses nginx as the web server. It employs jQuery and proprietary Showit scripts for frontend functionality, along with embedded Vimeo and YouTube videos. The site integrates with WordPress for blogging capabilities and uses various external resources from CDNs and Google services. Performance metrics are not available, but the site appears well-structured with responsive design elements for mobile and desktop. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. The absence of SSL/TLS is a significant technical debt and security risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
