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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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.

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Square Refresh operates in the technology and e-commerce sectors, targeting Squarespace website owners and developers. Its business model revolves around selling digital plugins and templates with an unlimited use license, supported by an affiliate program managed through Peach's platform. The company emphasizes clear licensing terms, refund policies, and support scopes, which help build customer trust. Market positioning is niche but well-defined, focusing on premium Squarespace enhancements. The affiliate program incentivizes growth and customer acquisition, with structured commission and payout terms. The business maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages social media (Instagram) for marketing. No physical addresses or phone contacts are provided, indicating a primarily digital operation. The domain registration aligns with the business claims, enhancing legitimacy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and HSTS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications and protection against protocol downgrade attacks. Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise integration mitigates automated abuse on forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page limits transparency on security governance. The lack of a security.txt file also reduces clarity on vulnerability reporting channels. Security headers beyond HSTS were not explicitly identified, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. Overall, the site is secure for its business scope but could enhance its security maturity by formalizing policies and expanding header protections.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

It incorporates modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, GSAP for animations, and Vimeo Player for video content. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking and marketing analytics, while Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise secures form submissions. Custom plugins for UI enhancements such as marquee buttons, floating elements, and notifications indicate active development and customization.

The technical stack is well-suited for the business model, balancing ease of use with customization capabilities.
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.
