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

Files-conversion.com is a free online file conversion service specializing primarily in video file format conversions but also offering a wide range of other media and document conversions. It operates under the brand Dan's Tools, providing utility tools to a general audience seeking quick and free file format conversions. The website is monetized through advertising networks such as Google Adsense and Ezoic, and it supports multiple languages and file types to cater to a broad user base. Technically, the site uses a modern frontend stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts, with hosting assets served via AWS CloudFront CDN. It implements HTTPS and a consent management platform to comply with GDPR regulations. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and branding align with the known Dan's Tools brand. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good usability and compliance features but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration, security policies, and contact information to improve trust and credibility.

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. 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"

    • 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';…

  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

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

Files-conversion.com occupies a niche in the online utility market, offering free file conversion services primarily targeting general internet users who need quick and easy media format conversions. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of supported formats and the integration within the Dan's Tools ecosystem, which provides multiple related utilities. The business model relies on advertising revenue, with no apparent direct monetization from users. The site shows signs of moderate digital maturity with multi-language support and GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible company contact details and domain registration transparency may limit trust among more cautious users. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as danstools.com and cleancss.com, indicating a network of utility sites under common management.

Security posture

The security posture of files-conversion.com is adequate but not robust. The site enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to address privacy regulations. However, it lacks implementation of key HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, as it impairs the ability to verify domain ownership and legitimacy. Overall, while no immediate vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to strengthen its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve the lack of WHOIS data to ensure domain registration legitimacy and improve credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a traditional web technology stack featuring jQuery, Bootstrap 3.4.1, and Font Awesome 4.0.3, with fonts served from Google Fonts. It uses plupload for file uploads and integrates Google Analytics and Adsense for tracking and monetization. Hosting appears to leverage AWS CloudFront CDN for asset delivery, improving performance and scalability. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with proper meta tags and responsive design elements. However, the use of older versions of Bootstrap and Font Awesome suggests some technical debt. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The site lacks a CMS indication, suggesting a custom or static site architecture.
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.
