AddToAny is a well-established technology company specializing in providing universal share buttons for websites and applications. Their platform enables users to share content seamlessly across a wide range of social media and sharing services. The company supports multiple CMS platforms through plugins and offers browser extensions for popular browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Their integration with Google Analytics allows website owners to track sharing metrics effectively. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and offers a consistent user experience with clear navigation and comprehensive content about their services. Technically, AddToAny employs modern web technologies including JavaScript ES modules, SVG icons for scalability, and CSS3 for styling. The site is optimized for performance and accessibility, ensuring a fast and responsive experience across devices. While no explicit CMS or hosting provider information is detected, the platform supports integration with major CMSs and cloud providers. From a security perspective, the site uses best practices such as no requirement for user accounts and lightweight code. However, explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are not detected, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are provided. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust slightly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and external references. Overall, AddToAny presents a low-risk profile with a strong market position in the social sharing technology space. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and implementing cookie consent to improve privacy compliance and trust further.

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

Business context

Business profile

AddToAny occupies a niche as a universal sharing platform, targeting website owners, app developers, and digital marketers who require easy-to-integrate share buttons. Their business model appears to be freemium or service-based, offering free plugins and extensions with potential premium features or enterprise integrations. The company has a strong ecosystem with plugins for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Cloudflare, and browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, indicating broad market reach. Their integration with Google Analytics provides a competitive advantage by consolidating sharing metrics. The company has maintained consistent branding and content quality since its founding in 2006, suggesting stable growth and market presence. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation. The lack of direct contact information on the main site may reflect a focus on self-service and automated support.

Security posture

AddToAny demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs and external links) and employs lightweight, optimized code that reduces attack surface. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No explicit cookie consent or privacy banners are detected, which may impact GDPR compliance. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are observed in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by adopting standard security headers, publishing security documentation, and implementing consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript ES modules. SVG icons are used extensively for crisp, scalable graphics optimized for high-resolution displays. The site loads CSS asynchronously and uses deferred JavaScript loading to improve performance. The platform supports multiple CMS integrations and browser extensions, indicating a modular and extensible architecture. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed, with media queries and ARIA roles present. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generator approach. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is fast with minimal blocking resources. SEO is supported through meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and robust with opportunities to improve security-related HTTP headers 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.
