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

Weather Crave is a weather forecasting website providing free 15-day weather forecasts primarily for the United Kingdom and other regions. The site offers meteorological content including video bulletins and weather news, targeting a general audience interested in weather updates. The business model appears to be advertising-supported with optional subscription services for premium content. The website is positioned as a niche media provider in the weather forecasting space with a consistent brand presence and good content quality. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript-based infrastructure with asynchronous loading of scripts, integration of multiple third-party advertising and tracking services such as Google Tag Manager, Hubvisor, and AppConsent CMP. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and supports mobile optimization with responsive design. Performance is moderate with good SEO practices but accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are not evident in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration errors, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content is accessible and professionally maintained. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good content and technical implementation but lacks some compliance and security best practices. Strategic improvements in privacy policy transparency, security headers, and domain registration clarity are recommended.

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

3 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 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

Weather Crave operates in the media sector focusing on weather forecasting services. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free, detailed 15-day forecasts with additional video content and alerts. Revenue streams are primarily from advertising networks and possibly subscription services. The target customer segment is the general public interested in weather information, particularly in the UK and English-speaking regions. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as lachainemeteo.com and meteoconsult domains for multilingual content. Growth indicators include multi-regional content and integration of advanced ad technologies. The company maintains a consistent brand and leverages modern digital marketing tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated via CMP integration but lacks explicit privacy policy documentation. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. The WHOIS data inconsistency is a concern for domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security posture.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and consistent to improve domain legitimacy.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Develop and publish incident response and security policies to demonstrate security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy infrastructure with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading for performance optimization. It integrates multiple third-party services for advertising, tracking, and consent management, including Google Tag Manager, Hubvisor, AppConsent CMP, and Prebid.js for header bidding. Structured data (JSON-LD) is used for SEO enhancement. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints for performance. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and explicit security headers. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security audits.
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.
