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

FormBeat is a specialized AI-powered cycling analytics platform designed to help cyclists of all fitness levels improve their training and performance. The company offers a subscription-based SaaS model with monthly and yearly plans, integrating with popular cycling platforms such as Strava, Garmin, and Zwift. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, excellent content quality, and a clear focus on user experience and mobile optimization. Technically, the platform leverages modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js), cloud CDN hosting, and multiple analytics and marketing tools to deliver a fast and responsive user experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. Overall, the business appears legitimate and well-positioned in the niche cycling analytics market, with strong trust indicators such as testimonials and recognized trademarks.

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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

FormBeat operates in the transportation sector focusing on cycling training analytics. Its competitive advantage lies in AI-driven insights and predictive fitness modeling, targeting both novice and advanced cyclists. Revenue streams are primarily subscription fees processed via Paddle. The company maintains partnerships with major cycling data platforms and uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer acquisition and retention. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a digital-first customer engagement model. Growth potential is supported by integration with popular fitness ecosystems and a clear value proposition centered on training improvement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens, indicating a baseline security maturity. It employs reputable third-party services for error tracking (Sentry) and payment processing (Paddle). However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response contacts.
  2. Add and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Provide direct company contact information such as support emails or phone numbers to improve transparency.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack centered on Vue.js with CDN delivery via Amazon Cloudfront, ensuring fast load times and good performance. Integration with multiple analytics and marketing platforms indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Mobile optimization is excellent, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom-built platform, which may require dedicated maintenance. Technical risks include missing security headers and partial privacy compliance, which should be addressed to reduce potential attack surface and regulatory risks.
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.
