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

Vision Directory is a niche online platform dedicated to curating and listing new applications for the Apple Vision Pro device. The website serves as a discovery tool for users and developers interested in the emerging Vision Pro app ecosystem. It offers categorized app listings and a weekly digest subscription to keep its audience informed. The business is relatively new, founded in 2023, and operates with a small team or individual entity, leveraging privacy protection for domain registration. Technically, the site is built on a modern Ruby on Rails stack with frontend technologies such as Tailwind CSS and Hotwired Turbo, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS and CSRF protections are in place, the site lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, and no formal security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which could be improved to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence. Overall, the site is functional, well-designed, and serves its target audience effectively but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy transparency.

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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 platform occupies a specialized niche within the technology sector, focusing exclusively on Apple Vision Pro applications. Its business model centers on content curation and app discovery, likely monetized indirectly through audience engagement or partnerships. The target audience includes early adopters of Vision Pro technology and app developers seeking visibility. The company appears to be a small, independent entity with no visible parent or subsidiary relationships. The use of privacy protection for domain registration is typical for startups or small businesses. The site’s partnership ecosystem is minimal, with external dependencies limited to email subscription services and privacy-focused analytics. Growth potential exists as the Vision Pro platform matures, but the company should consider expanding trust signals and compliance documentation to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is presumably enabled (implied by canonical URLs), and CSRF tokens are implemented in forms, indicating awareness of common web security practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, particularly concerning GDPR and similar regulations. While no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, the site would benefit from implementing recommended security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security and privacy policies to improve resilience and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Ruby on Rails framework with a frontend leveraging Tailwind CSS and Hotwired Turbo for dynamic page updates and responsiveness. The use of Stimulus JS controllers indicates modular and maintainable JavaScript architecture. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS services, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site includes a subscription form integrated with Buttondown email service and uses Simple Analytics for privacy-focused visitor tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC, which could be addressed to improve security posture 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.
