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

FormBold is a technology company founded in 2021 that offers a comprehensive web form solution including a form API, backend, and form builder. Their service targets developers and businesses seeking to easily collect and manage form submissions with integrations to popular platforms like Slack, Notion, and Telegram. The website is built using modern technologies such as React and Next.js, indicating a contemporary and scalable technical infrastructure. Hosting details are not explicitly stated but DNS is managed via Cloudflare, suggesting reliable performance and security. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the website is professional and functional with moderate trustworthiness but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

5 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

FormBold operates in the technology sector as a SaaS provider specializing in web form solutions. Their business model revolves around providing developers and businesses with easy-to-integrate form APIs and backend services, complemented by a form builder interface. The company appears to be small-sized and relatively new, founded in 2021, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. Their market position is niche but focused, offering integrations that enhance workflow automation. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees or usage-based payments via Paddle. The absence of detailed business contact information and certifications limits external trust signals. The company leverages third-party services like Paddle and Google Tag Manager, indicating partnerships in payment processing and analytics.

Security posture

The security maturity of FormBold is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and has domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses, which prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS to spoofing attacks. No security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. Forms and inputs appear standard but without explicit security disclosures. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with better security headers, policy transparency, and DNS security enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement and disclose a security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear contact information including support and security contact emails to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, which supports server-side rendering and good SEO practices. It uses Cloudflare for DNS management, which provides performance and security benefits. External scripts include Paddle for payment processing and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and has good design quality and navigation clarity. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and font preloads. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations.
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.
