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

Webwiki.com operates as a specialized website search engine focused on providing users with trustworthy website reviews and information. It aggregates publicly available data about websites, including popularity rankings, technical contacts, hosting providers, and user reviews, targeting English-speaking internet users. The platform is supported by multiple advertising networks and employs a comprehensive consent management system to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Technically, the site uses Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager, delivering a moderately performant and mobile-optimized user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. The lack of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, but the active and professional website presence mitigates some risk. Overall, Webwiki.com is a functional and privacy-conscious service with room for improvement in transparency and direct contact information.

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 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 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 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Webwiki.com occupies a niche market as a website review search engine, differentiating itself by focusing on trust and scam avoidance. Its business model relies on advertising revenue from multiple ad networks and retargeting services. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes localized versions for various countries, enhancing its reach. The absence of direct company contact details and WHOIS data may impact trust for some users. Growth potential exists through expanding business transparency and security disclosures. The company targets consumers seeking reliable website information and webmasters interested in listing their sites. The platform's strategic advantage lies in its comprehensive data aggregation and user review integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of security headers, and a robust consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness perception. The extensive use of third-party advertising and tracking vendors introduces potential privacy risks, though mitigated by user consent controls. Recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, implementing a security.txt file, and enhancing accessibility compliance to strengthen overall security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and ad vendor integrations to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Webwiki.com is built on a stable and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.4 and jQuery 1.11.1, supplemented by Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics and advertising. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the use of older jQuery and Bootstrap versions may pose technical debt and security risks. The site leverages multiple ad networks and tracking services, which could impact page load times and user privacy if not carefully managed. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks and improve user experience.
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.
