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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

Cuttly operates on a subscription SaaS model with multiple pricing tiers catering to different user needs, from free plans for beginners to enterprise solutions for large teams. Its competitive advantages include advanced link management features, branded domains, and integration of marketing tools such as UTM generators and retargeting pixels. The company maintains an active presence on social media and industry review sites, enhancing its market visibility and credibility. The partnership with Web Room Studio indicates a focused development and support structure. The platform's compliance with TRAI SMS regulations for the Indian market demonstrates strategic regional adaptation. Growth indicators include consistent positive reviews and awards from G2 and SaaSworthy. The business model emphasizes scalability and customization, appealing to marketers and businesses seeking detailed analytics and brand control over links.

Security posture

Cuttly demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, domain registration locked against unauthorized transfers and deletions, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The platform includes an abuse report page, indicating readiness for incident handling, though no explicit security policy or dedicated security contact email was found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and ApexCharts is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security measures are appropriate for a SaaS platform handling user-generated links and analytics, but publishing a security.txt and enhancing incident response transparency would strengthen trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit security policy documentation detailing security practices and compliance.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, such as a dedicated security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, enhancing performance and security. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with comprehensive SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Cookie consent is implemented via a recognized third-party solution, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site demonstrates good performance characteristics with preloading and async loading of scripts. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. The technical implementation supports scalability and user engagement through interactive features like surveys and link analytics.
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.
