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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention xoxobella.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for xoxobella.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 in the media sector, targeting a general audience interested in food and travel. It maintains a strong social media presence across multiple platforms, enhancing audience engagement and brand reach. Monetization is driven by multiple ad networks and affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates. The company appears small in size but well-positioned in its niche with consistent content quality and professional marketing practices. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The website's strategic use of technology and partnerships supports sustainable growth and audience retention.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, enhancing security and performance. Security headers are partially implemented; improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding a Content-Security-Policy header are recommended. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses a consent management platform to comply with GDPR, but lacks a published security policy or incident response contact. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Continue monitoring third-party scripts and ad networks for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and multiple advertising SDKs. Performance is optimized using WP Rocket caching and lazy loading techniques. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD). The hosting environment includes GoDaddy domain registration and Cloudflare DNS/CDN services. The technical implementation is robust with minor opportunities for security header enhancements and formal documentation of security practices.
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.
