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

WOW Slider is a specialized software provider offering a jQuery-based image slider and slideshow solution designed for ease of use, customization, and broad compatibility. The company targets web developers and site owners who want to create visually appealing sliders without coding, supporting platforms like Windows, Mac, WordPress, and Joomla. The website demonstrates a mature product with a long history and a strong feature set including video integration, responsive design, and SEO friendliness. Technically, the site uses modern web standards and jQuery, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, and delivers fast performance with mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain protection but lacks advanced security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche, though improvements in security and privacy transparency are recommended.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

The business operates on a software sales model offering free non-commercial and paid commercial licenses. It has a consistent brand presence and a loyal user base built over more than a decade. The product's competitive advantages include ease of use, extensive customization, and multi-platform support. The company leverages partnerships with platforms like WordPress and Joomla to expand reach. The target customers are both technical and non-technical users seeking slider solutions. The website content and WHOIS data indicate a stable and legitimate operation with no suspicious patterns. Growth potential exists through enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency. No forms or sensitive data collection points were detected, reducing immediate risk exposure. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices and publishing clear security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance privacy compliance.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Consider adding phone and physical address contact details to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. It supports multiple platforms and CMS integrations, enhancing versatility. Hosting via Cloudflare DNS provides performance and some security benefits. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with responsive design. No major technical debt or obsolete technologies were detected. However, the lack of security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates areas for modernization. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking scripts, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights.
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.
