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

Abstract API is a technology company providing a suite of powerful APIs designed to automate workflows and enrich user experiences. With over 10,000 developers worldwide using their services, they offer a broad range of APIs including IP intelligence, email validation, geolocation, company enrichment, and more. Their market position is strong within the developer tools and API-as-a-service sector, supported by a professional website and trusted by major enterprise clients. Technically, the website is built on Webflow with modern analytics and marketing integrations, delivering fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, though the absence of explicit security headers and a published security policy suggests room for improvement. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern impacting domain trustworthiness, but the overall business credibility and website professionalism mitigate this risk. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

Abstract API operates in the technology sector, targeting developers and businesses requiring API integrations to automate and enhance digital workflows. Their business model is SaaS-based, offering APIs for lookup, creation, and validation tasks. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through a wide API portfolio, strong developer adoption, and endorsements from reputable clients like Salesforce and Google. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans for API usage. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement. Growth indicators include a high user rating and extensive API offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major platforms, though no direct subsidiaries or parent companies were identified. Overall, Abstract API shows a mature and scalable business operation within the API services market.

Security posture

The security maturity of Abstract API's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no sensitive data leaks were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of reputable analytics and marketing services suggests a controlled data collection environment, but a formal vulnerability disclosure program is not evident. The missing WHOIS data for the domain raises questions about domain registration transparency, which is a critical trust factor. To improve, Abstract API should publish security documentation, implement comprehensive security headers, and provide clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide dedicated security contact channels to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and add more comprehensive accessibility features to further improve the technical maturity.
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.
