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

AddToAny is a technology company specializing in providing universal share buttons and social sharing solutions for websites and applications. Their platform supports a wide range of social media services and integrates with popular content management systems such as WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla. The company also offers browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, as well as bookmarklets for iOS devices. AddToAny positions itself as a user-friendly, no-account-needed sharing platform with strong customization options and Google Analytics integration. Technically, the website is well-structured with modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript modules. It uses scalable vector graphics for icons, ensuring high-quality visuals on all devices. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a fast, responsive user experience. However, some security best practices such as explicit security headers and a visible cookie consent mechanism are not evident. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in its HTML content. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements in headers and transparency. The overall risk assessment is moderate with a good technical foundation and strong business credibility based on content and integrations. The missing WHOIS data and lack of explicit contact information are notable gaps. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing privacy compliance with cookie consent. These steps will strengthen trust and security culture while supporting long-term business growth.

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 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

    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

AddToAny operates in the technology sector, focusing on social sharing tools for digital content publishers and developers. Its competitive advantage lies in its universal sharing platform that supports a broad array of social networks and CMS platforms, along with seamless Google Analytics integration. The business model appears to be freemium or service-based, offering free share buttons and plugins with potential premium features or enterprise options. The target customers are website owners, bloggers, and app developers seeking easy-to-integrate sharing solutions. The company has maintained a consistent brand presence since 2006, indicating market stability. Partnerships with major CMS communities and browser extension marketplaces enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous feature updates and support for emerging platforms like Threads and Bluesky. Operationally, the company emphasizes lightweight, accessible code and customization, appealing to a wide developer audience.

Security posture

The security maturity of AddToAny is moderate. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure data transmission. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is present, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. The lack of explicit contact channels for security incidents is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may affect GDPR compliance. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript ES6 modules. It uses SVG icons for scalability and performance. The asynchronous loading of scripts and modular CSS contribute to fast page load times and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation is robust with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data is a technical anomaly that should be investigated to ensure domain registration legitimacy.
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.
