Security score

60/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website flippa.com is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare security challenge page that requires human verification via Turnstile captcha. This prevents access to the actual website content, limiting the ability to analyze business, security, and compliance details. The domain is well-established since 2003 and registered through a reputable registrar, indicating legitimacy. However, no privacy policies, cookie policies, terms of service, or contact information are visible on the challenge page. The technical infrastructure includes Cloudflare protection and AWS-based DNS hosting, reflecting a modern security posture. Due to the blocking mechanism, the content quality and user experience cannot be assessed. Security posture is partially inferred from the presence of Cloudflare WAF but cannot be fully evaluated. Overall, the site appears legitimate but inaccessible for detailed analysis.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

Flippa.com is a known marketplace platform for buying and selling websites, domains, and online businesses, operating in the technology sector. The domain age and registrar data support its established market presence. Due to the WAF challenge, no direct business model, revenue streams, or partnership information is extractable from the current page. The platform likely targets entrepreneurs, investors, and digital business buyers/sellers. The lack of visible business or contact info on this page is typical for security challenge pages and does not reflect on the actual business transparency.

Security posture

The site employs Cloudflare's Turnstile captcha as a security measure to mitigate automated access and potential abuse, indicating a proactive security stance. DNS is hosted on AWS nameservers, suggesting reliable infrastructure. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No security headers or detailed SSL/TLS configuration data are available from the provided content. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities are visible on this page. Incident response and security policy information are not present. Overall security posture is moderate but cannot be fully assessed due to content blocking.

Recommendations

  1. Provide accessible pages for automated security and compliance scanning beyond WAF challenge to enable full analysis.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  3. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies accessible without challenge.
  4. Include visible contact and incident response information for transparency and compliance.
  5. Maintain and document security best practices and certifications publicly to improve trust.

Key observations

  1. Website content is blocked by Cloudflare security challenge.
  2. No visible business or contact information on the challenge page.
  3. No privacy, cookie, or terms policies detected on this page.
  4. No forms or data collection fields visible except hidden captcha response input.
  5. No external marketing or analytics scripts detected beyond Cloudflare challenge.
  6. Domain WHOIS data indicates a legitimate, long-standing domain.
  7. Page is minimal and serves only as a bot/human verification gate.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is protected by Cloudflare's security platform, including Turnstile captcha for bot mitigation. DNS hosting is via Amazon AWS nameservers, indicating robust hosting infrastructure. The HTML content is minimal and serves only as a challenge page, lacking SEO metadata, structured data, or business content. No CMS or frameworks are detectable from this page. Performance and accessibility cannot be evaluated due to blocking. The technical setup prioritizes security and bot protection but limits external analysis capabilities.
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.
