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

The website yaofes.com is a Japanese language niche affiliate marketing platform specializing in lift-up cosmetics for facial sagging and anti-aging skincare. It provides product rankings and reviews with affiliate links to vendors, targeting Japanese consumers interested in beauty and skincare products. The site is small-scale, founded in 2019, and hosted on a Japanese hosting provider (Xserver). Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks.

No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are published, and no contact information is provided, which impacts compliance and trust. Analytics are implemented via Research Artisan Pro tracking scripts. Overall, the site is functional but lacks important compliance and security best practices.

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

7 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 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

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

Yaofes.com operates as an affiliate marketing content site in the retail cosmetics sector, focusing on anti-aging lift-up skincare products. Its business model relies on affiliate commissions from product referrals. The site targets Japanese-speaking consumers, primarily women concerned with facial aging signs. Market positioning is niche with moderate branding consistency. The absence of direct company information or contact details suggests a small or individual operator rather than a corporate entity. The extensive use of affiliate networks like A8.net and afi-b.com indicates monetization through established Japanese affiliate programs. Growth potential depends on content quality and SEO improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, reducing DNS security. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor privacy compliance. No incident response or security contact information is published. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the analyzed content. Overall, security maturity is low to moderate, with room for significant improvements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Publish contact information including a dedicated security or abuse email address for incident response.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without use of a known CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting is provided by Xserver, a reputable Japanese hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no obvious broken elements. SEO is basic with meta viewport and canonical tags present but no Open Graph or Twitter Card metadata. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site uses affiliate marketing scripts and tracking pixels from Research Artisan Pro. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or CDN usage. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to improve security and 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.
