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

3 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Elfsight occupies a strong position in the website widget market, targeting website owners, digital marketers, and small to medium businesses seeking easy-to-integrate tools to enhance their online presence. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its extensive widget catalog, ease of use, and integration with popular platforms. Revenue streams are likely subscription-based SaaS fees. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with major analytics and advertising platforms. Growth indicators include a large user base and continuous widget updates. The business model focuses on scalable SaaS delivery with a focus on customer engagement and retention.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized changes. Multiple security headers are likely in place, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of a published security policy or incident response plan represent gaps. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts introduces some risk, necessitating regular audits. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

The site demonstrates fast loading times, excellent mobile optimization, and good accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but include the lack of DNSSEC and potential risks from extensive third-party scripts. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a reliable and scalable business operation.
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.
