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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

Business profile

WP Rocket operates in the technology sector with a focus on WordPress plugin development. Its competitive advantage lies in offering an all-in-one caching and optimization solution that replaces multiple plugins, simplifying performance improvements for users. The company targets a global market with multilingual support and maintains a strong online presence through social media and customer engagement. Revenue streams are primarily from plugin sales and renewals. The partnership ecosystem includes documentation and support sites, with integrations for analytics and marketing tools. Growth indicators include a large installed base (5+ million websites) and continuous feature updates aligned with web performance standards. Strategic observations suggest WP Rocket benefits from brand consistency, strong SEO, and a user-friendly approach that reduces technical barriers for customers.

Security posture

The security maturity of WP Rocket's website is good, with HTTPS enforced and partial Content Security Policy monitoring implemented. The site uses cookie consent banners compliant with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy and data protection regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts is managed with lazy loading to reduce attack surface. Overall, the security posture is solid for a commercial website but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, VWO for optimization testing, and Termly for cookie consent management. Hosting and domain registration are handled by reputable providers (One.com and Cloudflare DNS). Performance is optimized with WP Rocket's own caching and lazy loading technologies, resulting in fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. Technical risks are minimal, with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the visible content. Opportunities exist to improve security transparency and incident readiness.
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.
