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

Thomas Ricci's website is a personal portfolio showcasing his skills as a software engineer and student at WPI. The site highlights his experience with various programming languages, frameworks, and cloud platforms, along with active projects such as Pyro and Nexus. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation to projects, resume, and professional social profiles. Technically, it leverages modern technologies including React, HTMX, and Cloudflare Pages hosting, ensuring fast performance and good accessibility. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and includes standard security headers, but lacks formal privacy, cookie, and security policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, though it could improve compliance by adding privacy and cookie 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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention thomasricci.dev, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for thomasricci.dev right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website positions Thomas Ricci as an individual software engineer with a focus on cloud and open-source projects. His business model is personal branding and project showcasing, targeting potential employers, collaborators, and the tech community. The presence of multiple active projects and leadership roles in robotics indicates growth and engagement in the technology sector. The site links to multiple related domains under his control, reinforcing his personal brand. There is no indication of a larger corporate structure or subsidiaries. The site’s open-source licensing and professional presentation enhance credibility and market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present. There are no forms collecting sensitive data, reducing attack surface. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site would benefit from formalizing these policies and adding a security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Add a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider appointing or designating a data protection officer contact if handling personal data in future.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React, HTMX, and Hyperscript, hosted on Cloudflare Pages which provides fast and reliable delivery. The use of Material Symbols Outlined font enhances UI consistency. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. Performance is fast with minimal external dependencies. Technical risks are low, but the site could benefit from adding structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO and accessibility.
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.
