75/100

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

8th Wall is a technology company specializing in WebAR (Web Augmented Reality) solutions, providing a platform that enables developers and businesses to create immersive AR experiences accessible via web browsers. The company positions itself as a leader in the WebAR space, offering tools and services that empower creative and commercial AR applications globally. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern design, mobile optimization, and integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Pendo. From a technical perspective, the site employs a contemporary tech stack including Semantic UI and various JavaScript libraries, ensuring fast performance and good accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, indicating adherence to best practices. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service pages, as well as lack of visible contact information, suggests areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain www.8thwall.com is unavailable, which limits the ability to fully assess domain legitimacy and registration consistency. Despite this, the website content and technical indicators support the conclusion that 8th Wall is a legitimate and professional entity. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and security, but privacy compliance and business credibility scores are moderated by missing policy documents and contact details.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

8th Wall operates in the technology sector focusing on augmented reality delivered through web platforms. Its business model centers on providing a developer platform and tools for creating WebAR experiences, targeting developers, enterprises, and creative agencies. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with marketing and analytics providers to enhance user engagement and product insights. Market positioning is strong as a pioneer in WebAR technology, with a global audience and a medium-sized organizational footprint. The absence of detailed company registration or founding information on the website suggests a focus on product and technology rather than corporate disclosures. The ecosystem includes extensive use of third-party services for analytics and marketing, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with HTTPS enforced and comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The use of modern JavaScript frameworks and analytics tools is balanced with security best practices. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in formal security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is strong technically but could benefit from enhanced policy documentation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add visible and verified contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate commitment to security transparency.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.
  5. Develop and communicate a formal incident response plan and security policy framework aligned with standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant technology stack including Semantic UI for UI components, Google Fonts for typography, and multiple JavaScript libraries for analytics and user engagement (HubSpot, Pendo, Google Tag Manager). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and fast loading times. Accessibility features are present, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. Hosting appears to be cloud-based with CDN usage for static assets. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience but could be enhanced with more explicit accessibility and privacy features.
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.
