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

Weather Crave is a media website providing free 15-day weather forecasts primarily for the United States and other global regions. It offers interactive weather maps, radar, and video bulletins, supported by advertising and optional premium subscriptions. The site targets general users seeking reliable weather information. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries, mapping tools, and integrates multiple advertising and tracking services with a consent management platform, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and policies are lacking. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness but the website content and structure appear professional and legitimate. Overall, the site is functional, well-branded, and provides valuable weather services with moderate privacy compliance.

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

The website positions itself as a free weather forecast provider with additional premium content offerings. Its business model relies on advertising revenue supplemented by subscription services. The presence of multiple regional partner domains suggests a networked approach to weather content delivery. The site leverages advanced ad networks and tracking tools to monetize traffic effectively. However, lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies may impact user trust. The company appears medium-sized within the media sector, focusing on weather information dissemination to a broad audience.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and uses a Consent Management Platform to comply with GDPR requirements. It integrates multiple advertising and tracking scripts, which are managed with user consent. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected, and no published security or incident response policies were found. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files indicates limited transparency in security practices. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adding explicit security policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Key observations

  1. Website is fully accessible with rich content and interactive weather maps.
  2. No WHOIS data available, which is unusual for an active commercial website.
  3. Strong use of advertising and tracking technologies with consent mechanisms.
  4. No explicit contact emails or phone numbers found on the page.
  5. No privacy policy or terms of service pages explicitly found in the provided content.
  6. Good SEO and structured data implementation.
  7. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information found.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with libraries such as Leaflet for mapping and integrates multiple third-party services for advertising and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with lazy loading and asynchronous script loading to improve performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The technical stack is robust but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy controls.
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.
