Risk levelMedium

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

Void Linux is an independent, volunteer-driven Linux distribution project founded in 2014 and registered under Enno Boland IT in Germany. The website serves as the central hub for the distribution, offering information about the OS, package management system (XBPS), and community resources. The project emphasizes stability, simplicity, and technical innovation such as its own package manager and init system. The site is hosted on DigitalOcean and uses standard web technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery. While the site is well-structured and content-rich, it lacks formal privacy, cookie, and security policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided, limiting direct communication channels. Security posture is moderate with some best practices missing such as DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, but could improve in privacy compliance and security 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

5 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 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

    • 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

Void Linux operates as a small, technology-focused entity providing an open source Linux distribution with a unique package management system and init system. Its market position is that of an independent alternative to mainstream Linux distros, targeting developers and advanced users valuing stability and control. The business model is community-driven with volunteer contributions and an enterprise edition offering for commercial use. The project maintains active development and community engagement via GitHub, IRC, Mastodon, and Reddit. Hosting and infrastructure choices reflect a modern but straightforward approach. The absence of formal privacy and security policies suggests an opportunity to enhance compliance and user trust. No advertising or tracking is present, indicating a privacy-respecting stance. The project’s legitimacy is supported by consistent WHOIS data and a long domain history.

Security posture

The security posture of the Void Linux website is moderate. The domain is registered with clientTransferProhibited status, indicating domain control. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. The website does not publish security policies or incident response contacts, limiting transparency. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to common web vulnerabilities. The site uses HTTPS (implied by URL), but SSL configuration details are not provided. No forms or user input fields were found, reducing attack surface. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and publishing security and privacy policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve web security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. Hosting is provided by DigitalOcean, with DNS managed on DigitalOcean nameservers. The site is structured with clear navigation and uses Open Graph metadata for social sharing. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. Accessibility and SEO are basic but functional. No CMS or complex frameworks are detected, reducing complexity and potential vulnerabilities. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be modernized with enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
