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"

    • 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

TechBullion occupies a niche in fintech and technology news, targeting a global audience interested in financial technology innovations. Its business model centers on content publication and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with major ad networks. The site demonstrates consistent branding and content quality, with a focus on interviews and industry insights that differentiate it from generic news portals. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a lean operational model relying on web forms and social media engagement. The domain's age and registration details reinforce its credibility. Strategic growth could involve expanding direct contact channels and enhancing security disclosures to build further trust.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS and domain status locks preventing unauthorized changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid mitigation of potential threats. The extensive use of third-party scripts and ad networks introduces a moderate risk surface that requires ongoing monitoring. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating a mature approach to data protection. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize exposure to vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

TechBullion is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and multiple advertising platforms such as Google AdSense, BuySellAds, Amazon Ads, and Taboola. The site uses Yoast SEO for optimization and Google Site Kit for analytics integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The presence of multiple third-party scripts increases complexity and potential security risks. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy, inferred from registrar and DNS information. The site benefits from structured data markup (JSON-LD) enhancing SEO and content discoverability. Opportunities exist to improve technical robustness by enhancing security headers and streamlining third-party dependencies.
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.
