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

Themex Studio is a small technology business specializing in the design and sale of premium, minimalistic Ghost CMS themes targeted at writers, bloggers, designers, and solopreneurs. Founded in 2023, the company positions itself as a niche provider offering thoughtfully crafted themes that enhance online presence and writing portfolios. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism with excellent design quality, clear navigation, and comprehensive content including live demos, documentation, and customer reviews. Technically, the site is built on the Ghost CMS platform, uses modern web technologies, and benefits from Cloudflare DNS services. Performance and mobile optimization are excellent, supporting a positive user experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though there is room for improvement in security headers and published policies.

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 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

  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

Themex Studio operates in the technology sector focusing on digital product sales, specifically Ghost CMS themes. Its business model revolves around direct sales via LemonSqueezy, a trusted payment processor, and providing extensive support and documentation to its customers. The target market includes creative professionals and solopreneurs seeking minimalistic and customizable website themes. The company leverages social media presence and customer reviews to build trust and market reach. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is consistent with a small digital business protecting its identity. The partnership ecosystem includes Ghost.org as the CMS platform and LemonSqueezy for payments, indicating a lean operational model with reliance on specialized partners. Growth indicators include regular content updates, guides, and new theme releases.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS with clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, indicating good baseline security practices. However, no DNSSEC is enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response plan, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a minor compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with recommendations to enhance header protections and publish security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Ghost CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It uses Cloudflare for DNS management, which provides performance and security benefits. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration with Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata. Performance is fast with optimized media and video content. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. The technical implementation is robust with no broken elements detected. However, there is an opportunity to enhance security headers and implement cookie consent mechanisms. The use of third-party services like LemonSqueezy for payments and Google Analytics for tracking is well integrated. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and business operations.
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.
