75/100

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

Beacons.ai is a mature and well-established technology platform founded in 2017, offering an all-in-one link in bio, media kit builder, online store, and email marketing tools tailored for creators on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The company targets a broad creator audience including musicians, influencers, podcasters, and artists, providing tools to monetize and grow their online presence. The platform operates on a freemium business model with additional paid tiers for enhanced features. Technically, the website is built using Webflow CMS, hosted with Cloudflare DNS, and integrates multiple modern analytics and marketing tools such as Segment, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Amplitude, and ProfitWell. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and well-structured with excellent design and user experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare DNS, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly observed. Privacy compliance is limited as no privacy or cookie policies are found on the homepage, and no consent mechanisms are evident. Business credibility is strong with transparent WHOIS data matching the business profile and consistent branding. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Beacons.ai holds a strong market position as a leading creator platform with a diverse user base including notable creators and brands. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive feature set combining link in bio, e-commerce, media kits, and email marketing in one platform. Revenue streams include commissions on sales and subscription fees for premium tiers. The target customer segment is digital content creators seeking to consolidate and monetize their online presence. Growth indicators include extensive social media integration and use of advanced analytics. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major analytics and marketing services. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to further build user trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare DNS services. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent areas for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which may impact user confidence. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site collects minimal personal data via forms but uses extensive tracking and analytics scripts, indicating a moderate user tracking level. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

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.
