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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

TranslatePress operates in the technology sector, focusing on multilingual WordPress solutions with a SaaS-like licensing model. Its competitive advantage lies in seamless frontend translation, AI integration, and broad compatibility with WooCommerce and site builders. The business targets a global audience of WordPress users, emphasizing ease of use and editorial control. Revenue streams likely include yearly licenses and support subscriptions. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with WordPress plugin developers and uses Google Analytics for user insights. Growth indicators include a large user base and extensive language support. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational transparency improvement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock status. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response procedures, which are critical for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Cloudflare DNS enhances DNS reliability but DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a security gap. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, potentially exposing the company to GDPR compliance risks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, limiting assessment. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting best practices in security headers, DNSSEC, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using modern plugins like Yoast SEO for search optimization and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. The frontend translation interface is enhanced with AI translation services such as DeepL and Google Translate. The site uses Cloudflare DNS for domain resolution and NameCheap as the registrar. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration via Open Graph tags. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNSSEC adoption to reduce technical risks.
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.
