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

CleanTalk's business model is SaaS subscription-based, focusing on anti-spam and website security solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in invisible anti-spam methods that avoid user friction such as Captchas. The company targets website owners across multiple CMS platforms, providing a broad service portfolio including blacklists and malware removal. The presence of a partner project management software (doboard.com) indicates ecosystem expansion. The company has a consistent brand presence and leverages social media channels for outreach. The domain age and registration details support a credible and stable business operation. Revenue streams likely include plugin subscriptions, security services, and ancillary offerings like SSL certificates. Growth indicators include a large user base and active blacklists updated daily.

Security posture

CleanTalk exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, secure form inputs with bot detection tokens, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Content-Type-Options represents areas for enhancement. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could impact transparency and trust in incident handling. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing DNS and HTTP security configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  3. Implement security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Consider adding verified company contact emails and physical address information to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including React and Webpack for frontend delivery, with SVG icons and asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance optimization. Hosting is likely on AWS as indicated by DNS servers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and Google site verification. Performance appears fast with deferred script loading and preloading of fonts. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and scalable web presence.
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.
