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

Common Paper, Inc. is a technology company specializing in contract collaboration, negotiation, signing, and billing solutions primarily targeting revenue, legal, and sales teams. Founded in 2017, the company offers a SaaS platform that integrates AI agents to streamline contract workflows, positioning itself as a niche player in the legal tech market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear messaging and customer trust signals such as testimonials and partner logos. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Understrap theme, leveraging modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Heap Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Hosting appears to be via WordPress.com infrastructure. Security practices include HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lack DNSSEC and advanced security headers. From a security perspective, the site maintains a good baseline with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms despite using tracking scripts, which may pose compliance risks. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business profile, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, Common Paper presents a credible and professional online presence with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in DNS security, privacy compliance, and security transparency would enhance trust and reduce risk.

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 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Common Paper operates in the legal technology sector, focusing on contract lifecycle management enhanced by AI capabilities. Its SaaS business model targets revenue and legal teams seeking efficiency in contract workflows. The company leverages partnerships and endorsements from reputable clients like Figma, indicating market acceptance. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and premium AI negotiation features. The website's content and structure suggest a growth-oriented approach with emphasis on user experience and trust. The absence of physical addresses or phone numbers indicates a primarily digital-first operation. The company maintains active social media engagement on Twitter and LinkedIn, supporting brand visibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a foundational security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and domain transfer lock status. However, the absence of DNSSEC implementation and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents areas for enhancement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events and reduce user trust. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts without a visible cookie consent mechanism may raise privacy compliance concerns under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance browser security.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking scripts.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible security reporting and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Understrap theme, indicating a standard and widely supported infrastructure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Heap Analytics, and Google Tag Manager, which provide robust data collection capabilities but require privacy compliance attention. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting is likely via WordPress.com given the nameservers. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt or deprecated libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS security to reduce technical risks.
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.
