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

wemakeit Ltd operates a well-established crowdfunding platform specializing in creative projects such as art, music, literature, and innovative ideas. Founded in 2014 and based in Switzerland, the platform has facilitated over 7,900 successful projects with a strong community of over 720,000 members. The business model centers on enabling project creators to raise funds through community engagement and offers additional services such as crowdfunding consultancy and webinars. The platform maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages partnerships with various specialized channels to expand its reach. Technically, wemakeit employs a modern web stack including Ruby on Rails with Turbo (Hotwire) for dynamic content delivery, Cloudinary for image hosting, and Matomo Tag Manager for analytics. The website is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. Hosting details are partially known, with domain registration through EuroDNS S.A. The platform uses HTTPS with valid SSL but lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. From a security perspective, the platform demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and CSRF protection in forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit incident response contacts indicates areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable gap given GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or adult content were detected, and the website is fully accessible without WAF blocking. Overall, wemakeit presents a trustworthy and professional crowdfunding platform with strong business credibility and a solid technical foundation. Strategic enhancements in security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy consent mechanisms would further strengthen its security posture and compliance standing.

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 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

wemakeit holds a competitive position in the crowdfunding market, focusing on creative and artistic projects primarily in Switzerland but with multilingual support for broader European audiences. Its revenue streams likely include fees from successful crowdfunding campaigns and value-added services such as consultancy and webinars. The platform's partnership ecosystem with organizations like WeFair, Science Booster, and EPFL Startup Booster enhances its market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include a large community base and a high number of successful projects. The business model emphasizes community engagement and project success, supported by professional content and clear legal frameworks.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of wemakeit is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly implemented, and CSRF tokens protect forms, indicating awareness of common web security practices. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduce the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially met, but cookie consent mechanisms should be implemented to fully comply. Overall, the platform shows a solid security foundation with room for improvement in advanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and robust technology stack, leveraging Ruby on Rails with Turbo for dynamic content and Cloudinary for efficient image delivery. The use of Matomo Tag Manager indicates a preference for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, suggesting potential for optimization in asset delivery or server response times. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom-built platform tailored to the business needs. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is stable and consistent with business claims. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
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.
