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

Buybox is a French-based company specializing in omnichannel gift card solutions for brands, targeting both B2C and B2B markets as well as network distribution. The company positions itself as a strategic partner for major brands in Europe, offering integrated tools and native CMS/PSP/POS integrations to optimize gift card programs. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and multilingual support. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of security headers represent significant security weaknesses that could impact user trust and data protection. The site employs modern marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager, with a compliant cookie consent mechanism in place. Overall, while the business and content quality are strong, the technical security posture requires urgent improvement to meet industry standards.

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.

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

Buybox operates in the e-commerce and retail sectors, providing SaaS-based gift card management solutions. Its business model includes direct sales to consumers (B2C), corporate sales (B2B), and distribution through network brands and resellers. The company serves a medium-sized market with notable clients like Airbnb, Dior, and Clarins, indicating strong market positioning and trust. The platform supports multiple languages and currencies, facilitating international deployment. Partnerships with major CMS and payment providers enhance integration capabilities. The marketing ecosystem includes advanced tracking and retargeting tools, supporting data-driven growth strategies.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security flaw exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, or X-Frame-Options are present, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further weakens TLS performance and security. While no direct vulnerabilities like exposed credentials or malware were detected, the insecure SSL configuration and missing headers significantly reduce the overall security posture. No published security or incident response policies were found, indicating limited transparency in security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to secure all website traffic.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including HSTS with preload, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common attacks.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling and TLS session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS and hosted on AWS infrastructure, utilizing a modern tech stack including jQuery and HubSpot integrations. Performance is currently slow with a large page size and high resource count, suggesting optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses multiple marketing and analytics tools, including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of SSL and security headers represents a significant technical risk that must be addressed to protect business operations and user data.
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.
