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

Chatway Live Chat is a SaaS company offering a comprehensive live chat and customer engagement platform designed to support businesses across multiple industries including eCommerce, SaaS, finance, education, and more. The platform provides a unified inbox for customer conversations, live visitor insights, deep eCommerce integrations, multilingual support, and mobile applications for iOS and Android. Positioned as a versatile and scalable solution, Chatway serves over 40,000 businesses and emphasizes team collaboration and customer satisfaction. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Slider, and AOS for animations. It integrates third-party marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Poptin. The site is mobile-optimized, uses HTTPS with a service worker for progressive web app capabilities, and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and secure service worker registration but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, Chatway presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. However, it should improve privacy compliance and security transparency to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Chatway operates in the competitive live chat and customer support SaaS market, targeting a broad range of industries including eCommerce, SaaS, finance, education, travel, real estate, and nonprofits. Its competitive advantage lies in deep integrations with eCommerce platforms, multilingual support, and team collaboration features. The business model is subscription-based with a free tier to attract users and paid plans for advanced features. The presence of mobile apps and multi-platform support indicates a focus on accessibility and user convenience. The company showcases strong market penetration with over 40,000 customers and notable clients such as Sony Music and Danone, suggesting solid growth and brand recognition. Strategic partnerships and integrations enhance its ecosystem, although no explicit partner domains were identified in the HTML content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of service workers indicates modern web security practices. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is uncertain due to missing privacy and cookie policies. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a SaaS platform but would benefit from enhanced security headers, documented policies, and compliance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, leveraging a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.1, Slick Slider for carousels, and AOS for scroll animations. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Poptin for tracking pixels. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes progressive web app features via service workers. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and critical CSS. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce technical risks and enhance user trust.
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.
