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

Vadikom.com is a well-established personal and professional blog operated by Vadikom Web Ltd., a small technology-focused company based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The website offers web design tutorials, development tools, and user scripts primarily targeting web developers and technology enthusiasts. The business model centers on content publishing and sharing open-source tools, with a niche market position supported by a long domain history since 2004. The site maintains consistent branding and a good quality of technical content, supported by active social media channels including Twitter and GitHub. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and hosted on DigitalOcean, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.3.1 and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers are not implemented, representing areas for improvement. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and accessibility features, though SEO and privacy compliance could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the website shows a moderate posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers, along with missing privacy and cookie policies, reduce the overall security and privacy compliance score. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could be a risk factor for security incident handling. Overall, Vadikom.com is a trustworthy and professional technical blog with a solid business foundation and good technical infrastructure. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and vulnerability disclosure would enhance its security posture and user trust, supporting long-term sustainability and compliance with evolving regulations.

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

7 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, Twitter

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

Vadikom Web Ltd. operates a niche personal and professional blog focused on web development tools and tutorials. The company leverages its long-standing domain and technical expertise to serve a targeted audience of developers and tech enthusiasts. The business model is content-driven with ancillary offerings such as user scripts and plugins. The company maintains an active presence on social media and developer platforms, enhancing its community engagement and brand visibility. Growth indicators include consistent content updates and integration with popular developer tools. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes links to open-source projects and technology providers. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to monetize through premium content or consulting services while strengthening compliance and security frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options expose the site to potential risks like clickjacking and content injection. No explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits incident response readiness and transparency. Data protection practices appear minimal, with Google Analytics used without visible consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears informal, typical for a small personal blog, but improvements are recommended to mitigate risks and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Review and enhance data protection practices, including cookie consent mechanisms and analytics data minimization.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress and uses jQuery 3.3.1 along with custom JavaScript and SVG icons for UI elements. Hosting is provided by DigitalOcean, a reputable cloud provider. Performance is moderate with external dependencies such as Google Analytics and jQuery CDN. The site is mobile-optimized and includes basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and content-type tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph metadata. Technical debt is low given the site's simplicity but modernization opportunities include upgrading jQuery to a newer version and implementing progressive web app features. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts without integrity checks and missing security headers that could impact content security.
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.
