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 company leverages a direct-to-customer and third-party sales approach, utilizing Sellcodes for payment processing and affiliate marketing. Their referral program incentivizes users to promote the plugin, enhancing organic growth. The product is competitively priced with a 14-day money back guarantee, appealing to cautious buyers. The target market includes WordPress site owners who require easy social media integration. The company maintains a consistent brand and content strategy, supported by positive user testimonials and high ratings. Partnerships with payment processors like PayPal and Paddle ensure reliable transaction handling. The business shows signs of steady growth and digital maturity with integrated marketing and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. The absence of Content Security Policy headers and minor PHP warnings indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Secure payment processing is ensured through SSL-encrypted checkout via trusted third-party platforms. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business size and industry but could benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Address and fix PHP warnings and errors to prevent potential information leakage and improve code quality.
  4. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly state GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and various third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and payment processing. The site uses Google Tag Manager to manage tracking scripts and integrates Facebook SDK and YouTube Player API for social and video content. Payment processing is handled via Sellcodes, Paddle, and PayPal, ensuring secure transactions. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Minor technical debt is observed in the form of PHP warnings and missing security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but would benefit from security and performance enhancements.
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.
