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

SiteGuarding CY Ltd. is a Cyprus-based company specializing in comprehensive website security solutions including antivirus scanning, malware removal, firewall protection, website backup, and blacklist removal services. The company targets website owners and businesses using popular CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, and others. With over 25,000 websites protected and a client base of approximately 450,000 users, SiteGuarding positions itself as a reliable and professional security service provider in the technology sector. The website content is well-structured, informative, and supported by external trust signals such as TrustPilot reviews. Technically, the website employs a moderately modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance evident through cookie consent banners and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, the absence of explicit security headers and direct security contact information are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is notably missing, with the raw WHOIS query returning no match for the domain. This inconsistency raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not necessarily indicate malicious intent given the professional nature of the website and its services. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture and business credibility but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing an incident response policy with direct contact channels, and verifying domain registration details to improve trustworthiness and compliance.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SiteGuarding operates in the website security market, offering a broad range of services from antivirus scanning to secure hosting and web development. Its competitive advantage lies in its heuristic algorithms for malware detection, 24/7 monitoring, and manual cleaning services. The business model is subscription and service-based, targeting small to medium businesses and enterprises that rely on CMS platforms. The company leverages partnerships and affiliate programs to expand reach. Growth indicators include a large client base and active service offerings. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear service descriptions and customer support options, although direct contact details are limited. The Cyprus location and registration provide a European base, potentially facilitating GDPR compliance.

Security posture

SiteGuarding exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, privacy and cookie policies, and professional malware removal services. The website content emphasizes security best practices and offers multiple security-related services. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limit the overall security maturity. No direct security contact emails or phone numbers were found, which could hinder incident reporting. The site does not appear to expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with direct contact information.
  3. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, including jQuery 1.12.4 and jQuery UI 1.12.4, which are somewhat outdated but still functional. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site appears to be built on Joomla or a custom CMS with modular architecture. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, indicating good baseline security. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization 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.
