Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and Email security.

Security score

88/100

Risk levelLow

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

CGTrader operates a large and professional 3D model marketplace serving a diverse audience including 3D designers, VR/AR developers, and enterprises. The platform offers extensive 3D assets, freelance job opportunities, and community engagement features, positioning itself as a leading player in the 3D content industry. Technically, the website employs modern frameworks like React and integrates advanced analytics and error monitoring tools, ensuring a robust and responsive user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and CSRF protections, though explicit security policies and incident response details are absent. The missing WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, but the overall business credibility and website professionalism mitigate major concerns. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, enhancing direct contact information, and verifying domain registration details.

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

2 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

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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.

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

CGTrader's market position as a top 3D marketplace is supported by its extensive catalog, royalty-based business model, and integration with AI-powered services like CGDream and Modelry. The company targets both individual creators and enterprise clients, offering scalable 3D solutions and freelance opportunities. Its partnership ecosystem includes AI image generation and custom modeling services, enhancing its value proposition. The platform's growth is indicated by active community features and continuous marketing efforts. However, the lack of visible direct contact details and domain registration transparency suggests areas for operational improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of CSRF tokens in forms. Integration with Sentry for error tracking and cookie consent mechanisms further enhance security and privacy compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. To elevate security maturity, CGTrader should consider publishing explicit security documentation and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers for sales, support, and security inquiries.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

CGTrader's technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, leveraging React for frontend rendering and integrating multiple analytics and monitoring tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Sentry. The website is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading and use of CDNs. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture. Hosting details are not explicitly found but external domains indicate use of cloud services and content delivery networks. Overall, the technical stack supports a scalable and user-friendly platform with opportunities to enhance backend transparency and 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.
