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 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

    • 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

The business operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on font licensing and management for creative professionals. Its competitive advantage lies in combining a large, curated font portfolio with seamless syncing and integration into popular design applications. The subscription model with free trials and student plans supports customer acquisition and retention. The parent company, The Type Founders, LLC, lends credibility and access to exclusive font collections. The website's partnership ecosystem includes marketing and analytics providers like Tapfiliate and HubSpot. Growth potential is supported by addressing common font management challenges faced by agencies and publishers. Strategic observations include the opportunity to enhance security transparency and expand direct contact options.

Security posture

Typographer.com exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections such as clientTransferProhibited status. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security. The site uses consent management for analytics and advertising, aligning with GDPR requirements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional transparency and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance direct contact options by providing verified company emails or phone numbers for support and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Astro, a modern static site generator, delivering fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. It integrates with Google Analytics, Tapfiliate for affiliate marketing, and HubSpot for marketing automation. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing robust infrastructure and domain security features. The site uses modern font loading techniques and preloading for performance. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is good, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes for navigation. Technical risks are minimal, though the lack of DNSSEC and security headers could be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
