Elfsight is a technology company specializing in providing a wide range of customizable website widgets designed to help over two million website owners enhance their online presence, increase sales, engage visitors, and collect leads without requiring coding skills. Their extensive catalog covers social media feeds, reviews, chat integrations, forms, e-commerce tools, and marketing widgets, positioning them as a leading SaaS provider in the website enhancement market. The company targets website owners and businesses seeking easy-to-integrate solutions to improve website functionality and user engagement. Technically, Elfsight's website is built on WordPress with modern performance optimizations such as WP Rocket and Yoast SEO, ensuring fast loading times, mobile responsiveness, and excellent SEO. The site integrates with numerous platforms including Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, and more, demonstrating a mature and versatile technical infrastructure. The use of lazy loading, content security policy monitoring, and HTTPS indicates a strong digital maturity. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs security best practices like lazy loading and CSP event listeners. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, Elfsight presents a low-risk profile with a professional online presence, strong business credibility, and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel, and enhancing CSP rules to further strengthen their security posture.

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 holds a strong market position as a provider of website widgets with a large and diverse user base exceeding two million customers. Their business model is SaaS-based, offering subscription or usage-based access to a broad catalog of widgets that address multiple website needs including social media integration, customer reviews, chat support, forms, and e-commerce enhancements. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with major website platforms such as WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace, expanding their reach and compatibility. Their affiliate program and active social media presence support growth and customer acquisition. The website content and structure reflect a focus on ease of use, scalability, and customer engagement, indicating a mature operational strategy and a clear understanding of their target market.

Security posture

Elfsight demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and good SSL configuration. The presence of security event listeners and lazy loading techniques reduces attack surface and improves performance. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact incident response effectiveness. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data protection officer contact details are absent. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy with stricter rules to mitigate script injection risks.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

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.
