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

6 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

Alloy operates in the competitive fintech and financial services sector, providing identity orchestration and fraud prevention solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive data partner network, configurable solutions across the customer lifecycle, and strong client base of over 700 financial institutions. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for their SaaS platform and possibly usage-based pricing. Target customers are banks, credit unions, and fintech companies seeking to optimize onboarding, compliance, and fraud risk management. Growth indicators include recent case studies demonstrating significant fraud loss reductions and operational efficiencies. The partnership ecosystem includes major players like Mastercard, LexisNexis, and Socure, enhancing Alloy's data capabilities and market reach. Strategic observations highlight Alloy's focus on embedded finance risk and global identity verification as growth areas.

Security posture

Alloy's security maturity is good, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. The use of Cloudflare DNS and reputable third-party services adds layers of security and monitoring. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers suggests potential areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms indicate compliance with data protection regulations. The lack of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy is a gap that Alloy should address to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, Alloy's security posture supports its role as a trusted provider in the financial sector but would benefit from formalizing some security governance aspects.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider providing direct contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@alloy.com) to facilitate responsible disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack integrating multiple marketing and analytics platforms, including Google Tag Manager, Marketo, Hotjar, and Clearbit. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS, providing performance and security benefits. The site uses custom or proprietary CMS technology, with no common CMS detected. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well-implemented with comprehensive metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data. The presence of multiple external scripts and tracking pixels indicates a mature digital marketing approach but requires ongoing management to avoid performance or privacy issues. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports Alloy's business objectives effectively.
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.
