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. 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

SLRPNK.net occupies a niche position within the Fediverse as a solarpunk and climate activism hub, targeting environmentally conscious users and activists. Its business model is non-commercial, relying on community hosting and volunteer admins. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its strong community guidelines, privacy focus, and integration of multiple collaborative tools. The hosting by F-hub.org and transparent governance enhance credibility. Growth indicators include active user counts (~1947 users), numerous communities (148), and high engagement metrics. Partnerships with related Fediverse instances and open source projects support ecosystem integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, domain status protections, and GDPR compliance. However, the lack of DNSSEC and a recent firewall software bug causing a week-long outage indicate areas for improvement. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The manual application review process helps mitigate spam and abuse risks. Incident response contact channels are limited but include an email for reporting illegal content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and formal vulnerability disclosure policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file.
  3. Add automated IP change notifications and redundant remote access methods to prevent future outages.
  4. Expand incident response contact channels to include dedicated security and abuse emails.
  5. Continue to monitor and update firewall software promptly and consider multi-admin physical access arrangements.

Technical notes

Notes

The technical infrastructure is based on the Lemmy federated social platform, enhanced with XMPP chat and Etherpad collaborative editing. The site uses Bootstrap for responsive design and is hosted on servers in Portugal with domain registration via OVH sas in France. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility. The outage in June 2025 revealed some technical debt in firewall management and dynamic DNS handling. The site uses minimal tracking and no ads, aligning with privacy goals. Opportunities exist to modernize firewall and monitoring tools and to enable DNSSEC for improved security.
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.
