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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

SkyrocketWP occupies a niche market in WordPress maintenance and hosting, leveraging partnerships with reputable providers like Kinsta and Digital Skyrocket as its parent company. The business model is subscription-based with tiered plans catering to different customer needs, emphasizing speed, security, and ease of use. The company targets WordPress site owners who want to outsource technical maintenance and hosting to focus on their core business. Revenue streams likely come from monthly subscriptions and possibly add-ons such as additional storage or backups. The partnership ecosystem includes hosting providers and payment processors like Stripe. The company demonstrates growth indicators through client testimonials and industry recognition. Strategic observations include a strong focus on customer trust, transparent domain ownership, and a no-contract policy to reduce friction for customers.

Security posture

SkyrocketWP exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, daily backups, real-time security monitoring, malware scanning, and hack prevention measures. Hosting on Kinsta provides a robust infrastructure with a 99.9% uptime SLA. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and lack of publicly available incident response or security policy documents represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected despite use of tracking technologies. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and explicitly configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a public security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Consider creating and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and stable technology stack centered on WordPress CMS with the Divi theme framework. Hosting is provided by Kinsta on Google Cloud Platform, ensuring high availability and performance. The site uses PHP versions 8.1 to 8.3, which are current and secure. Performance optimizations include CDN usage, image compression, lazy loading via Perfmatters, and caching. SEO is well supported by Yoast SEO plugin with comprehensive meta tags and structured data. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good navigation clarity. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represent areas for modernization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, scalable, and well maintained.
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.
