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

Authopia by NordPass is a technology company specializing in passwordless authentication solutions, leveraging passkey technology to provide secure and frictionless user login experiences. The company targets developers and organizations seeking to modernize their authentication methods by integrating a pre-built widget and APIs. Positioned as a modern SaaS provider in the authentication space, Authopia emphasizes ease of integration and enhanced security through passwordless login flows. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear calls to action and developer resources. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and uses Google Analytics for user tracking. However, the website suffers from critical security issues including an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, but no explicit security or incident response policies are found. Overall, while the business model and technical infrastructure show promise, the security configuration requires urgent remediation to ensure 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

4 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

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

Authopia operates in the competitive passwordless authentication market, leveraging the growing adoption of passkeys and FIDO Alliance standards. Its partnership or branding association with NordPass adds credibility and market positioning. The business model is SaaS-based, offering developer-friendly integration tools and widgets to facilitate adoption. The target audience includes developers and enterprises aiming to improve login success rates and reduce password-related security risks. The company appears to be small-sized with a focus on technology innovation and user experience. The website content is relevant and well-structured, supporting marketing and conversion goals. The lack of phone or physical contact information suggests a primarily digital-first operation. The use of Google Analytics indicates moderate user tracking for business insights. The partnership ecosystem includes NordPass, but no other partners or subsidiaries are evident.

Security posture

The current security posture of Authopia.io is weak due to the invalid SSL certificate and absence of TLS protocol support, which exposes users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and undermines trust. The absence of security headers and HSTS further weakens the defense against common web attacks. While the site is free from known SSL vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and POODLE, the lack of a published security policy and incident response contact channels indicates immature security governance. Privacy and cookie policies are present but lack explicit GDPR compliance statements. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The contact email is generic and not security-specific, which may delay incident reporting. Overall, the site requires immediate improvements in SSL/TLS configuration, security policy publication, and incident response readiness to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate from a trusted CA to secure all website traffic.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program including a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Review and enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data retention practices.
  8. Improve website accessibility and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and compliance.
  9. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.
  10. Increase transparency around data collection and user tracking to build trust with users.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React frameworks, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. Fonts used include Roboto Mono and Inter, enhancing readability and design consistency. Hosting is provided by Amazon AWS, as evidenced by DNS nameservers and ELB references. Performance is slow with a load time of approximately 10 seconds and a large page size (~138 KB), which could impact user experience. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and accessible navigation. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is critically flawed with no valid certificate and no enabled TLS protocols, posing significant operational risks. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, indicating moderate digital maturity. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security and performance optimizations to reduce technical debt and operational risks.
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.
