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 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 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
    • 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

Weebly operates as a SaaS platform in the technology and eCommerce sectors, providing website building and online store solutions. Its business model includes free offerings with upsells to premium plans and domain registrations. The integration with Square, Inc positions it competitively by combining website creation with payment processing. The target market includes small to medium businesses and individual entrepreneurs. The company leverages affiliate programs and marketing tools such as Facebook ads and automated email campaigns to drive growth. The partnership ecosystem includes Square and various social media platforms, enhancing its market reach and customer engagement. The absence of direct contact information on the landing page suggests a focus on self-service and digital support channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of visible HTTP security headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene but could enhance trust by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance frameworks.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance user trust by including verified company contact information and support channels on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform with a modern tech stack including jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA v3. It uses SVG graphics and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media integration. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of third-party scripts and assets. The hosting provider is likely Square or Weebly's own infrastructure, ensuring reliable uptime and security. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced to meet higher standards. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and hreflang tags for multilingual support.
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.
