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

Surplus Jouissance Projects ([S][J][P]) is a niche content publishing platform focused on psychoanalysis, intellectual discourse, and related topics. The website offers subscription-based access to exclusive articles and posts, targeting an audience interested in psychoanalytic theory and cultural studies. The business model centers on memberships and content delivery via a Ghost CMS platform. The site maintains a consistent brand identity and provides a good quality user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Ghost CMS, Google Fonts, Stripe for payments, and CDN delivery via JSDelivr. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, though it lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks visible security headers, privacy compliance documentation, and incident response contact information. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the accessible and professional content suggests a legitimate small-scale operation. No advertising or tracking beyond essential platform scripts is detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with room for improvement in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, providing contact and incident response information, and clarifying domain registration details to enhance trustworthiness.

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. 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 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

The website operates as a small-scale intellectual content publisher with a subscription membership model. It targets a specialized audience interested in psychoanalysis and cultural critique. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its niche focus and consistent content output. Revenue is likely generated through paid memberships. The partnership ecosystem is minimal with no identified related or partner domains. Growth indicators include regular content updates and a diverse range of topical tags. Strategic observations suggest the business could benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance to build credibility and expand its audience.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site benefits from HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data but lacks comprehensive security headers and formal privacy documentation. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies and absence of GDPR indicators. Incident response readiness is low due to no visible security contact channels. The security culture appears basic, with reliance on platform defaults rather than proactive security measures. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Business impact of these gaps is moderate, primarily affecting user trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse contact email to enhance incident response readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Ghost CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts and Stripe.js for payment processing. Content is delivered via CDN (JSDelivr) ensuring moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the absence of explicit security headers and privacy compliance documentation indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small content publisher but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
