Frontify is a technology company specializing in brand management and digital asset management solutions. Their platform targets brand managers and marketing teams in enterprises, offering SaaS tools to maintain branding consistency and facilitate collaboration. The website analyzed is a login page for their platform, reflecting a professional and consistent brand image. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including React and integrates third-party services such as Amplitude for analytics and Sentry for error tracking. The site is well optimized for performance and mobile devices, with a good user experience and clear navigation. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, CSRF tokens, and password policies, though some security headers are missing and no public security or privacy policies are visible on this page. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency around privacy and security policies. The domain registration data aligns well with the business, showing legitimacy and consistency. No blocking or WAF mechanisms were detected, and no adult or questionable content is present.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  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

  4. 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

Frontify operates in the competitive SaaS brand management market, serving enterprise clients who require robust digital asset and styleguide management. Their business model is subscription-based SaaS, focusing on brand consistency and collaboration. The company leverages partnerships and integrations (e.g., Zuora for payments) to enhance service offerings. The platform's technical maturity and use of analytics indicate a data-driven approach to product development and customer engagement. The absence of public contact details or policies on this login page suggests these may be located elsewhere or require authentication, which is common for enterprise SaaS. The company appears well positioned with a clear target audience and a professional digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection. Password policies are strict, requiring minimum length and character types. Error handling for authentication is robust, preventing brute force attempts with lockout messages. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder transparency and trust. Analytics and error tracking are implemented responsibly, but privacy compliance is limited by missing visible policies. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security and privacy documentation and adding missing headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible without login.
  2. Implement and expose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by adding cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR indicators.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on a modern React-based frontend served via Frontify's CDN infrastructure. It uses third-party libraries for analytics (Amplitude) and error tracking (Sentry). Payment integration is handled via Zuora. The site loads efficiently with optimized CSS and JavaScript bundles. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom SaaS platform. The technical stack is modern and well maintained, with opportunities to improve security headers and privacy features. Overall, the technical implementation supports a scalable and performant SaaS application.
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.
