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. 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 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"

  3. 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

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

Sourcehut pages operates as a niche platform within the open source software collaboration market, offering essential tools for developers and maintainers. Its business model revolves around providing hosted services for git repositories, CI, and static site hosting, appealing to a technical audience. The company maintains a transparent and open source-friendly approach, reflected in licensing and documentation. Growth potential lies in expanding user base among open source projects and improving service automation. The partnership ecosystem is limited but focused on related open source infrastructure. The company is small, founded in 2021, and maintains consistent branding and messaging.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. The domain uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers and offers automatic TLS for encrypted connections. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, indicating room for improvement in security governance. No security headers are detected in the provided data, and no forms or inputs reduce attack surface. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent is absent. Overall, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene but should enhance DNS security and formalize security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism if any cookies or tracking are used in the future.
  4. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to harden the site.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a static site generated by Hugo, a modern and efficient static site generator, ensuring fast load times and good mobile responsiveness. The use of SVG icons and minified CSS indicates attention to performance optimization. Hosting is provided by sourcehut infrastructure, which is specialized for open source projects. No CMS or dynamic backend is detected, reducing complexity and attack surface. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and RSS feed links. Accessibility is basic but functional. The technical stack is modern and well-suited for the site's purpose, with low technical debt and good maintainability.
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.
