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

Wikia-services.com resolves to a Fandom platform page indicating an invalid or non-existent community. Fandom operates a large-scale fan community and wiki hosting platform, serving a broad general audience with content aggregation and community engagement tools. The website uses MediaWiki technology and modern web technologies including Algolia for search insights and OneTrust for consent management, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure. The site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, reflecting a good security posture. However, the analyzed page is a placeholder error page with minimal content and no direct company contact information, limiting content quality and business credibility scores. Privacy and cookie policies are present on the main Fandom domain, indicating compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No adult or explicit content is detected, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms are present, allowing full access to content. Overall, the domain registration data is consistent with a legitimate, established platform with no suspicious indicators.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 12 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Fandom is positioned as a leading platform in the fan community and wiki hosting market, leveraging a platform business model that monetizes through advertising and community engagement. The company targets general audiences interested in fan content and collaborative knowledge bases. The platform's ecosystem includes multiple related domains and partner sites under the Fandom brand. The business model focuses on content aggregation and user-generated content, with growth driven by community participation and platform scalability. Strategic partnerships and integrations with social media and marketing tools enhance reach and monetization potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, presence of key security headers, and integration of consent management tools for privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The domain lacks DNSSEC, which could be considered for enhanced DNS security. Overall, the platform shows good adherence to security best practices but could improve in public security communication and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Enhance content quality on error or placeholder pages to improve user experience and trust.
  5. Provide clear and accessible company contact information on all relevant pages to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on MediaWiki 1.43.1, a widely used open-source wiki platform, integrated with modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services such as Algolia for search analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is likely on AWS infrastructure, supported by NS1 DNS services. The site includes standard SEO meta tags and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. No critical technical issues were detected, but the minimal content on the analyzed page limits the assessment of full technical maturity.
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.
