Risk levelMedium

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

Slant is a newly launched technology project focused on providing a design system, as indicated by the website title and npm package reference. The site is minimalistic, targeting developers and designers interested in UI components and design systems. The business model appears to be centered around open source or software component distribution via npm. The website is built using modern technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, the content is basic with minimal descriptive information and no contact or compliance policies published. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections, but lacks security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with a legitimate new project, registered recently without privacy protection, indicating transparency. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency to enhance trust 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

6 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 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

    • 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

Slant operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting the niche of design systems and UI component libraries. The project is likely in early stages given the recent domain registration and minimal website content. The business model is likely open source or developer-focused software distribution via npm. The target audience includes developers and designers seeking design system solutions. The website links to two partner domains, lona.is and astrit.co, suggesting collaboration or shared ecosystem. The lack of detailed business information, contact data, and compliance policies indicates a startup or small project with limited public-facing corporate structure. Growth potential depends on expanding content, establishing trust signals, and formalizing compliance and contact channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, which are positive security indicators. However, no DNSSEC is enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended best practices. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, represents compliance gaps. The use of Vercel Analytics indicates minimal user tracking but lacks explicit privacy compliance disclosures. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and adding incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Add clear contact information including support and security incident response contacts.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, hosted on Vercel, which provides fast performance and good mobile optimization. The HTML content is valid and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are properly configured. The site uses Vercel Analytics for minimal tracking. There is no CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. The technical implementation is clean but minimalistic, with opportunities to enhance accessibility and security features. No forms or user input fields are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small project but could benefit from additional security and compliance features.
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.
