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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ThemeGrill operates in the technology sector, focusing on WordPress theme development and sales. Its business model revolves around providing premium themes to a broad audience of WordPress users including businesses, bloggers, and portfolio owners. The company has a medium-sized market presence with a well-recognized brand and a large user base. Revenue streams likely include theme sales and support services. The company leverages partnerships with analytics and anti-spam service providers to enhance its offerings. Growth indicators include continuous updates and a strong SEO presence. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains active social media profiles on Facebook and Twitter, enhancing its market reach and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses anti-spam plugins to mitigate bot and spam attacks, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies suggest gaps in comprehensive security management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response readiness and data protection officer information are not publicly available. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a commercial website but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features and provide clear contact information including security incident contacts to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including PHP and JavaScript. It uses well-known plugins for SEO (Rank Math), anti-spam (CleanTalk), and forms (Everest Forms). The site loads multiple external scripts for analytics and tracking, including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a mature approach to user behavior analysis. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Cloudflare, suggesting reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy features.
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.
