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

8 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 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

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

Velzie.rip operates as a personal technology and programming portfolio with community engagement through open source projects like Warfork and GitHub. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on personal branding and hobbyist software development. The site links to several partner and community domains, indicating active participation in niche technology and gaming ecosystems. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. The absence of formal business registrations or certifications aligns with the personal nature of the site. The partnership ecosystem is informal, centered on open source and gaming communities.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. The site benefits from Cloudflare's DNS and HTTPS services, providing baseline transport security. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. Data collection is minimal, reducing risk exposure. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a personal site but would require enhancements for commercial or sensitive data handling.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a privacy policy and cookie policy to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security policy page to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Consider adding accessibility improvements and formal contact forms for better user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with ES modules and a custom lightweight router (flamethrower-router) for client-side navigation and prefetching, enhancing performance and user experience. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing reliable DNS and HTTPS. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is detected, indicating a static or custom-built site. Performance is fast with minimal external dependencies. Technical debt appears low, but security best practices could be improved by adding security headers and DNSSEC. The site uses minimal analytics (simpleanalytics) respecting privacy. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a personal project.
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.
