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

6 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 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';…

  2. 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

  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

Geo Controller occupies a niche market within the WordPress plugin ecosystem, focusing on geolocation and geo marketing tools. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive geolocation control, integration with popular platforms like WooCommerce, and compliance with GDPR and tax regulations. The business model centers on plugin licensing with multiple pricing tiers, targeting small to medium WordPress site owners and developers. The presence of detailed documentation, active blog posts, and customer reviews indicates ongoing engagement and support. Partnerships with WordPress.org and PayPal enhance credibility and operational capabilities. Growth potential exists in expanding marketing tools and enhancing security features to meet evolving compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on login and registration forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. The presence of nonce tokens in forms reduces CSRF risks. Historical plugin vulnerabilities have been publicly acknowledged and fixed, indicating transparency and responsiveness. However, the absence of some security headers like HSTS and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not explicitly provided, which could be enhanced to improve trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce additional HTTP security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information, enhancing transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities promptly.
  4. Improve website accessibility compliance to ensure inclusivity and meet legal standards.
  5. Enhance visibility of security policies and incident response procedures on the website to reassure users and stakeholders.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using WooCommerce for e-commerce and Elementor for page building. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection and PayPal SDK for payment processing. Hosting is provided by Hetzner Online GmbH, a reputable European provider. The site uses valid HTML and CSS with SEO best practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and basic accessibility features. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance user experience through improved accessibility and performance optimizations.
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.
