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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  3. 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

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

WidgetBot occupies a niche market within the technology sector, focusing on Discord widget embedding. Its competitive advantage lies in replicating Discord's UI and offering features such as user login, guest messaging, and customization options. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees from Gold patrons who access premium features. The company leverages partnerships with platforms like Typeform for contact forms and uses Cloudflare for hosting and DNS. The presence of privacy policies and terms of service indicates a mature approach to compliance. Growth indicators include a large user base and active community support via Discord.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of Cloudflare's infrastructure. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Privacy compliance is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, though no cookie consent mechanism was observed.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Consider providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to improve accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern technologies including React and Next.js frameworks, Bootstrap 5 for styling, and Font Awesome 6 for icons. Hosting is provided by Cloudflare Pages, ensuring fast performance and global CDN delivery. Google Analytics and Cloudflare Insights are used for traffic analysis. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. The technical stack is well-maintained with no outdated or vulnerable libraries identified. Opportunities exist to enhance DNS security and add more explicit security documentation.
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.
