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

4 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

    • 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

  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

Candy AI is positioned as a specialized AI companion service offering personalized virtual characters with multimedia interaction. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of companion options, customization features, and multi-format engagement (chat, voice, images, video). The freemium model with subscription tiers and token purchases supports monetization. The target audience includes individuals seeking companionship, emotional support, creative roleplay, and AI technology enthusiasts. The company maintains a consistent brand and leverages social media channels for marketing and community engagement. Partnerships with Zendesk and Pipedrive support customer service and affiliate marketing. Growth indicators include regular content updates, new character releases, and multilingual support. The business operates from Malta under EverAI Limited, reflecting a small but focused technology company.

Security posture

Candy AI demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSRF protection on forms, and reCAPTCHA integration to prevent automated abuse. The domain is registered with privacy protection, which is justified for this consumer-facing AI service. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are presumed but not explicitly confirmed; adding explicit CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers would strengthen defenses. The absence of a public security policy or incident response page is a gap in transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the platform shows good security hygiene but could improve communication and formalization of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Create and publish a public security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and advertise a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and alerting capabilities to detect and respond to suspicious activities promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack combining Ruby on Rails backend with frontend frameworks like Alpine.js and jQuery. It uses Turbo Frames and Stimulus Reflex for dynamic UI interactions. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security. Analytics and monitoring are implemented via Mixpanel, Google Tag Manager, and New Relic, supporting data-driven insights and operational stability. The site is mobile-optimized and supports PWA features, improving user engagement across devices. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure is well-suited for the business model but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and formalized 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.
