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

Brandfetch is a well-established technology company founded in 2006, specializing in providing a comprehensive platform for accessing brand assets such as logos, colors, and fonts. It serves a broad audience including designers, marketers, and developers, positioning itself as a leading repository with over 44 million brands. The business model centers on offering free brand hosting while monetizing through API services that enable seamless integration of brand data into applications. The website reflects a mature digital presence with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, Brandfetch employs modern web technologies including React and Next.js, supported by Cloudflare DNS services. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO and accessibility features. Analytics and tracking are implemented via Google Tag Manager and PostHog, indicating a moderate level of user tracking balanced with privacy considerations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and domain transfer protections. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and explicit security policies or incident response information are not publicly available. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting good privacy practices. Overall, Brandfetch presents a low-risk profile with a strong market position and professional online presence. Strategic improvements could include enabling DNSSEC, publishing detailed security and incident response policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to further enhance trust and security posture.

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

3 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 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

  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

Brandfetch operates in the technology sector as an essential entity providing brand asset management and API services. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive brand database and seamless API integration capabilities. The company targets professionals in design, marketing, and development, leveraging partnerships with over 100 sites for brand data synchronization. The business model is API-centric with free brand hosting to attract users. Growth indicators include a large brand repository and verified brand badges. The company maintains active social media channels and a transparent domain registration, reinforcing credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation focused on core services.

Security posture

Brandfetch demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, domain transfer protection, and absence of exposed sensitive data. The lack of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No explicit security frameworks or incident response contacts are published, which could limit transparency in security governance. Tracking technologies are standard and privacy policies are comprehensive, indicating compliance with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing security policies and enabling DNSSEC. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are currently absent, representing areas for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services. It uses Font Awesome 7 for icons and integrates analytics via Google Tag Manager and PostHog. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO and accessibility practices evident. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. The domain is stable and long-standing, supporting business continuity. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for improvement in DNS security and explicit security documentation.
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.
