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

Expo is a well-established open-source platform that enables developers to build universal native apps for Android, iOS, and the web using JavaScript and React. It offers a comprehensive ecosystem including development tools, deployment solutions, and app store submission services. The platform is widely trusted and used by notable companies, supported by a strong GitHub community. Technically, Expo employs modern web technologies such as React, Next.js, and integrates various analytics and marketing tools. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and performs efficiently. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, with additional protections like Google reCAPTCHA and Bugsnag for error monitoring. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, Expo presents a strong business and technical profile with room for improvement in privacy disclosures and user consent mechanisms.

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 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

  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 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

Expo occupies a leading position in the mobile app development ecosystem, targeting developers who build native apps with React Native. Its open-source model combined with professional services and deployment solutions creates diversified revenue streams. The platform's integration with popular tools and trusted by major companies indicates strong market acceptance and growth potential. The business model focuses on developer productivity and streamlined app deployment, supported by a vibrant community and extensive documentation. Strategic partnerships and a robust technical infrastructure underpin its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and bot protection mechanisms. Use of third-party services like Bugsnag and Google reCAPTCHA enhances monitoring and security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is not clearly communicated, which could pose risks in regulated markets.

Recommendations

  1. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add explicit contact information including security incident contacts and general support.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

Expo's website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance and mobile responsiveness. The use of CDN services like Amazon CloudFront and integration with analytics and marketing tools reflects a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No technical debt or legacy technology indicators were found. Continuous monitoring and error tracking are implemented via Bugsnag, supporting operational stability.
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.
