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

Sxmo.org is an open source project website dedicated to providing a minimalist, hackable mobile Linux environment adhering to the Unix philosophy. The project targets Linux mobile device users and developers seeking a lightweight, scriptable UI for phones and tablets. The site offers downloads, documentation, source code, and community support, positioning itself as a niche player in the mobile Linux ecosystem with a focus on simplicity and extensibility. Technically, the website is a static site generated with a simple tech stack including HTML5 and CSS, hosted on Argeweb Hosting. It is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content relevance. However, it lacks advanced technical frameworks or CMS and does not implement modern security headers or privacy compliance mechanisms. The WHOIS data shows privacy protection and domain locking, consistent with a small open source project. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by URL), but no security headers or incident response information are present. No privacy or cookie policies are published, and no contact information is provided, which limits user trust and compliance with privacy regulations. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no vulnerabilities were found in the visible content. Overall, the website is functional and professional for its niche but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency to enhance trust and 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

7 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"

  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 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

Sxmo.org operates as a small open source software project focused on mobile Linux environments. Its market position is niche, targeting technically proficient users and developers interested in alternative mobile UIs. The business model is community-driven with free software distribution and open collaboration. Revenue streams are not evident, suggesting reliance on community contributions or sponsorships. The project benefits from endorsements by known figures in the Linux community, enhancing credibility. Partnerships appear limited to related open source projects and hosting providers. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active documentation updates. Strategic observations highlight the importance of expanding privacy and security transparency to increase adoption and trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of sxmo.org is basic. The domain uses privacy protection and domain locking to prevent unauthorized changes, which is positive. However, the website lacks published privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The absence of contact information and security policies may hinder compliance with GDPR and other regulations. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. The site would benefit from implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear incident response channels to improve its security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and abuse contacts.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a static site generator (ssg) with a simple HTML5 and CSS tech stack. It is hosted on Argeweb Hosting with domain nameservers pointing to Argeweb. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. However, it lacks advanced frameworks or CMS and does not include analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal technical complexity. Performance is moderate with no obvious errors or broken elements. Accessibility is basic but functional. The site could improve by adding modern web performance optimizations, accessibility enhancements, and security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
