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

Trilby Media LLC is a specialized technology company focused on providing professional services and custom development for the Grav CMS platform. The company is staffed by the original Grav CMS development team, leveraging over 20 years of web development experience. Their market position is strong within the Grav CMS ecosystem, offering consulting, development, migration, managed hosting, and service level agreements to businesses and developers seeking high-quality Grav solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting a technical audience familiar with Grav CMS. Technically, the website is built on the Grav CMS platform and hosted behind Cloudflare, utilizing modern web technologies including Fork Awesome icons, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Cloudflare's Turnstile captcha for spam prevention. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, with a clean and accessible design. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers are not fully implemented. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes anti-spam measures on its contact form. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, security, and incident response policies represents a compliance gap, especially regarding GDPR and data protection transparency. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business identity, showing a legitimate registration with no privacy protection, enhancing trust. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security policy disclosures to improve compliance and user trust.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Cloudflare

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

Trilby Media operates as a niche service provider within the technology sector, focusing exclusively on Grav CMS-related services. Their competitive advantage lies in being the original Grav CMS development team, which positions them as authoritative experts. The business model revolves around consulting, custom development, hosting, and support services, targeting businesses and developers needing Grav CMS solutions. The presence of high-profile clients such as Microsoft, Cisco, and USDA indicates strong market acceptance and trust. The company appears to be small-sized, US-based, and founded in 2016. Their ecosystem includes GitHub-hosted open-source plugins and premium products, enhancing their revenue streams and community engagement. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The security posture of Trilby Media's website is solid but not comprehensive. HTTPS is enforced, and Cloudflare provides a robust hosting and CDN layer. The use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha on the contact form is a positive anti-abuse measure. However, the lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and no security headers are explicitly detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site demonstrates good baseline security but should improve policy disclosures and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security risks and privacy concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Grav CMS platform, a modern flat-file CMS known for speed and flexibility. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and hosting, providing performance and security benefits. The front-end employs Fork Awesome icons and custom CSS, with JavaScript libraries for analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) and spam prevention (Cloudflare Turnstile). The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is likely fast due to static site generation and CDN usage. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers would modernize the security posture. The site lacks structured data like JSON-LD but uses Open Graph tags effectively.
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.
