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

XUBSTER.COM is a small technology company operating a free file upload and remote data storage service since 2016. The website targets a general audience seeking secure and anonymous cloud storage solutions, complemented by an affiliate program to monetize digital content. The business model focuses on providing fast, remote access to files with custom solutions for users and partners. Technically, the site uses legacy jQuery 1.9.1 and standard JavaScript/CSS, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS with Tucows as the registrar. The site shows basic mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and uses outdated libraries, which pose risks. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner but no explicit GDPR compliance or data protection officer information. Contact information is limited to a contact form with no direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security and compliance measures.

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
    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the technology sector providing cloud storage and file hosting services with an affiliate marketing program to incentivize content creators. The market position is niche, targeting users needing anonymous and secure remote storage. Revenue likely derives from premium services and affiliate commissions. The multi-language support indicates an international user base. The absence of detailed business registration or contact info limits transparency. Partnerships with payment and content platforms like WebMoney and MegaStock suggest some ecosystem integration. Growth indicators are unclear due to limited public business data. Strategic focus should include improving trust signals and expanding business transparency.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are in place, but DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers are detected. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No published security policies or incident response contacts reduce preparedness and transparency. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated. The site uses cookie consent mechanisms but lacks detailed data retention or protection disclosures. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security certifications. Recommendations include upgrading libraries, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and improving incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to supported secure versions.
  3. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan.
  4. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by explicitly addressing GDPR requirements and appointing a data protection officer.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack primarily based on jQuery 1.9.1 and custom JavaScript and CSS. Hosting is behind Cloudflare DNS with Tucows as the registrar. The site lacks a modern CMS or framework and shows basic mobile and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate with no evident advanced caching or optimization techniques. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries presents technical debt and security risks. No advanced accessibility features are detected. The site would benefit from modernization including updated libraries, improved mobile responsiveness, and enhanced SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
