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

SFBX operates a consent management platform (CMP) called AppConsent®, targeting websites and applications that require GDPR and e-privacy compliance. The company positions itself as a certified CMP provider with integration to Google Consent Mode v2 and uses a private blockchain to ensure immutable consent records. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with modern web technologies and moderate performance. Security posture is good with HTTPS and domain protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. No explicit privacy or cookie policies were found in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. WHOIS data shows privacy protection but is consistent with a legitimate technology SaaS business founded in 2019. Overall, the site is trustworthy and business credible but could improve privacy compliance documentation and security headers.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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 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

  • 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

SFBX targets the European and global market for consent management solutions, focusing on GDPR and e-privacy compliance. Their business model is SaaS with free trials and paid plans. They serve a range of clients including major European companies, leveraging regulatory expertise and blockchain technology as competitive advantages. The company emphasizes UX design, privacy by design, and environmental considerations. Their partnership ecosystem includes Google for certification and integration. Growth indicators include over 13,000 websites trusting their platform and over 1 billion consents managed annually. Strategic observations include the need to enhance transparency around privacy policies and incident response to strengthen trust further.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program. The site uses Google Tag Manager and other third-party scripts, which require careful management to avoid privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program (security.txt).
  5. Add clear contact information including security contact emails to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor page builder, using modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and jQuery. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags. The site is hosted with a registrar Key-Systems GmbH and uses Google Domains DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. The site uses a private blockchain technology for consent proof, indicating a modern approach to data integrity. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve compliance posture.
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.
