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

CodeSandbox operates as a web-based development environment platform, providing users with an online code editor and sandboxed environments to build and share web projects. The platform targets web developers and programmers seeking a cloud-based, collaborative coding experience. The website content is minimal in the root HTML, relying heavily on JavaScript to load the full application from the codesandbox.io domain. This indicates a modern SPA architecture with centralized hosting. Technically, the site uses JavaScript libraries such as BrowserFS, Babel, CodeMirror, and Monaco Editor, which are standard for online code editors. Performance and mobile optimization appear basic, with no explicit accessibility or SEO enhancements detected in the provided HTML snapshot. Security posture is weak based on the absence of security headers and privacy policies, though HTTPS is presumed but not confirmed from the data. From a security perspective, the site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the analyzed content. However, the lack of privacy, cookie, and terms policies, as well as missing contact and incident response information, indicates compliance gaps. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the content is safe for general audiences. Overall, the website is functional but lacks comprehensive privacy and security disclosures. Strategic improvements in policy transparency, security headers, and contact information would enhance trust and compliance. The domain registration uses privacy protection, which is typical and justified for this business type, and no suspicious patterns were found, supporting legitimacy.

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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

CodeSandbox holds a strong position in the online development tools market, offering a SaaS platform that simplifies web project creation and collaboration. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a browser-based IDE with sandboxed environments, appealing to developers and educators. The business model revolves around subscription or freemium access to cloud-hosted coding environments. The platform likely generates revenue through paid plans and enterprise offerings. The target customers include individual developers, teams, and educational institutions. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand presence, though public business details such as founding year or parent company are not disclosed in the analyzed content. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with no explicit security headers or policies detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The use of HTTPS is assumed but not confirmed. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were identified in the static content. Overall, the security maturity appears low to moderate, with room for improvement in transparency, policy publication, and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and serve security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add visible contact information and dedicated security incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.
  5. Introduce structured data and meta tags to improve SEO and content discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built as a single-page application heavily reliant on JavaScript libraries including BrowserFS for filesystem emulation, Babel for JavaScript transpilation, and editors like CodeMirror and Monaco Editor. The hosting appears centralized on codesandbox.io domains, indicating a cloud-based infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimizations detected in the HTML snapshot. The lack of meta tags and structured data limits SEO effectiveness. Accessibility features are minimal. There is no evidence of CMS usage. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved security configurations and enhanced metadata for better search engine and accessibility compliance.
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.
