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

The website snake.ch is a personal blog operated by Marco Trevissoi, showcasing a variety of creative projects including crafting, digital graphics, furniture, and other artistic endeavors. The site targets a general audience interested in creative arts and craftsmanship, with content organized into clear categories and regular blog posts dating back many years. The business model appears to be primarily content-driven with potential for custom commissions or ordering through dedicated pages. The domain has been registered since 2002, indicating a long-standing presence consistent with the website's content and author identity. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 5.7.14, utilizing common plugins such as Contact Form 7, Mailchimp for WordPress, and Slider Revolution. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Fonts, and is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is present but could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is weak, with no privacy or cookie policies found, and no consent mechanisms implemented, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Contact information is limited to a contact form and subscription form, with no direct emails or phone numbers provided. Overall, snake.ch is a legitimate, well-maintained personal blog with good content quality and technical implementation. However, it would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security headers to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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

  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

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

The website operates as a niche personal blog focused on creative arts and craftsmanship, positioning itself as a platform for showcasing Marco Trevissoi's projects. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-term presence and consistent content quality. The business model is content-centric with potential revenue streams from custom orders or commissions. The target customer segment includes hobbyists, art enthusiasts, and potential clients interested in bespoke crafting. Growth indicators include regular blog updates and engagement through subscription forms. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with no explicit partner domains identified. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy compliance and security to build greater trust and potentially expand audience reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted data transmission. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear to be standard without visible security flaws. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical under GDPR. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a personal blog but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress platform with a well-known set of plugins and libraries. The use of jQuery, Slider Revolution, and Mailchimp integration indicates a moderately modern tech stack. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and resource management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of advanced SEO and accessibility features suggests opportunities for modernization. No critical technical risks were identified that would impact business operations significantly.
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.
