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

Templatespare is a WordPress-based business specializing in providing over 999 ready-to-use and fully accessible website templates and themes for various niches including blogs, news, eCommerce, and more. The company offers both free and premium themes accessible via a plugin and membership plans, targeting WordPress users who want fast and customizable website solutions. The business appears to be relatively new, founded in 2022, and maintains a consistent brand presence with user testimonials and structured data enhancing credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as React and jQuery, hosted on SiteGround, and optimized for SEO and mobile devices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved privacy and security disclosures.

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

8 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 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

Templatespare operates in the competitive WordPress theme market, offering a large catalog of starter templates and themes with a freemium model. Its partnership with afthemes.com for product sales and demos indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The business model relies on plugin distribution and membership plans, appealing to a broad audience from bloggers to enterprise clients needing custom website services. The presence of enterprise services like site migration and audits suggests diversification beyond theme sales. Growth potential exists given the extensive template library and SEO optimization. However, the lack of explicit contact and compliance information may hinder trust with more security-conscious customers.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, which are positive security indicators. However, no DNSSEC is enabled, and no security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor contact channels for security issues. Forms appear to be standard WordPress/Jetpack forms without advanced security disclosures. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also represents a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including React and jQuery, with SEO enhancements via Rank Math and hosting optimizations from SiteGround. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with good accessibility features. Structured data is well implemented using JSON-LD for organization, website, and article schema. External integrations include Google Analytics and Jetpack Stats for analytics. The site uses a plugin for demo template management and offers a large catalog of themes categorized by niche and builder compatibility. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and lack of security headers, which could expose the site to certain attacks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can benefit from security hardening and enhanced privacy compliance.
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.
