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

The website virae.org serves as a personal portfolio for Michal Šimonfy, showcasing his artwork and webdesign services. It targets a general audience interested in digital media and creative design. The business model is primarily personal branding and portfolio display, with no evident commercial transactions or e-commerce features. The site has been active since 2007, indicating a stable online presence in the creative niche. Technically, the website uses basic HTML5, CSS, and jQuery (version 1.6.2) along with Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms. SEO and accessibility features are minimal but present. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is provided, limiting compliance with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the website is a modest personal portfolio with moderate technical and security maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, updated libraries, and privacy compliance would enhance trust and protection. The risk level is low given the non-commercial nature but could be improved to safeguard visitor data and reputation.

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

9 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

The website represents a small-scale personal portfolio business focused on creative services such as artwork and webdesign. It occupies a niche market with a long-standing presence since 2007. The business model is based on showcasing skills and attracting potential clients or collaborators rather than direct sales. The target audience includes art enthusiasts and clients seeking web design. The site links to social media platforms like Twitter and Dribbble, indicating engagement with creative communities. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or complex revenue streams. Growth indicators are limited due to the static nature of the site and lack of interactive features.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic. The site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. The outdated jQuery version is a notable vulnerability that could be exploited. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from adopting modern security best practices and compliance measures.

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 Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Update jQuery to the latest stable version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform visitors.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, enhanced by jQuery 1.6.2, which is outdated and may pose security risks. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking without visible privacy disclosures. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and name servers, but DNSSEC is not enabled. The site lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms and shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. SEO metadata is minimal but present. The technical stack is simple and stable but could be modernized to improve security, performance, and compliance.
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.
