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

Status301.net is a small technology business specializing in WordPress development services and plugin offerings. The site serves as the root of the Permanently Moving Network, providing a range of WordPress-related services including site modifications, plugin development, social media integration, e-commerce solutions, and virtual private server management. The business targets WordPress site owners and developers seeking both free and premium plugins as well as development services. The market position is niche, focusing on WordPress ecosystem users with a moderate presence supported by a long domain history since 2011. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with common technologies such as PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery. It uses Jetpack for analytics and some functionality, and is hosted via OVH sas, a reputable provider. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with basic accessibility and good SEO practices. However, some technical improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers could enhance security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, a published privacy policy, and incident response contacts. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, indicating some GDPR awareness. No critical vulnerabilities or WAF blocking were detected, and the content is safe for general audiences. Overall, the website is credible and professionally maintained but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing a privacy policy, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts to strengthen 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 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

      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 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

Status301 operates in the WordPress development niche, offering both free and premium plugins alongside development services. The business model combines service provision with plugin sales and support, targeting WordPress users and developers. The domain age and consistent branding indicate a stable presence. Partnerships with premium.status301.com for premium plugins and membership in the Internet Defense League suggest community engagement and credibility. The company leverages Jetpack and WordPress infrastructure, focusing on organic growth through content and plugin offerings. No direct revenue or large-scale partnerships are evident, indicating a small business scale with potential for growth in the WordPress ecosystem.

Security posture

The security posture of Status301.net is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent gaps. No privacy policy or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and compliance. The use of Jetpack analytics is minimal risk but should be disclosed in privacy documentation. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the analysis. Overall, the site is secure for typical use but requires improvements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear incident response and security contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and response.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using PHP and JavaScript with jQuery libraries. It leverages Jetpack for analytics and some functionality, and LiteSpeed caching for performance optimization. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a reputable European hosting company. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small WordPress-based business but has room for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
