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

Status301.net operates as the root site of the Permanently Moving Network, specializing in WordPress-related development services and plugin offerings. The business targets WordPress users and developers, providing both free and premium plugins alongside internet services such as VPS management and e-commerce site building. The website is built on WordPress CMS, hosted on o2switch.net, and uses modern web technologies including jQuery and LiteSpeed caching for performance optimization. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility is basic. From a security perspective, the website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service are published, though a cookie consent mechanism compliant with EU regulations is present. Contact is available via a dedicated contact page with a form, but no direct emails or phone numbers are listed. The domain is well aged and registered consistently, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website presents a moderate security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. The business model is clear and niche-focused, with a consistent brand and good content quality. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing security headers to strengthen the security posture.

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.net holds a niche position in the WordPress plugin development and internet services market, catering primarily to WordPress site owners and developers. The business model combines free and premium plugin offerings with service-based revenue streams such as VPS management and e-commerce site development. The presence of a premium subdomain indicates a tiered product strategy. The company appears to be a small-sized entity founded in 2011, with no public parent or subsidiary companies. Partnerships with organizations like The Internet Defence League and use of Jetpack analytics indicate engagement with the WordPress ecosystem and community. Growth indicators include active content updates and plugin development. The website's consistent branding and professional design support credibility, though the absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit customer trust for some users.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a foundational security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and domain transfer lock in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but the lack of a published privacy policy and incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. The use of Jetpack for analytics introduces minimal tracking but no overt privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a small technology service provider but with clear areas for enhancement to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  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.
  4. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Consider providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for improved customer support and credibility.

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.
