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

FormBold is a technology company founded in 2021 that provides a comprehensive SaaS solution for web forms, including a form API, form builder, and backend services. Their platform enables users to receive form submissions directly to various endpoints such as inboxes, Slack, Sheets, Notion, and Telegram, targeting web developers and businesses needing efficient form solutions. The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, hosted likely on a performant platform with Cloudflare DNS and HTTPS security. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature digital presence with good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and domain locking, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and no explicit consent mechanisms. No contact information or incident response channels are publicly available, which limits transparency. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve compliance and user trust.

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 focuses on delivering integrated form APIs and backend services that simplify form data collection and distribution. The company targets developers and businesses seeking easy-to-use form management tools with multi-channel integration capabilities. Market positioning is niche but competitive, leveraging modern web frameworks and payment processing partnerships (e.g., Paddle). The absence of detailed business contact information and certifications suggests a small-sized startup. Growth potential is indicated by the modern tech stack and integration features, but establishing clearer compliance and trust signals would strengthen market credibility. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and domain status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. The site loads external scripts from trusted sources like Google Tag Manager and Paddle, but lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited security transparency and preparedness. Enhancing these areas would improve the security maturity and compliance posture, especially for GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform and obtain user consent for tracking.
  3. Add explicit contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  4. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  5. Deploy additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with asynchronous loading of JavaScript chunks, indicating a performant and scalable architecture. Hosting appears to be on a cloud platform optimized for static and dynamic content delivery. External integrations include Paddle for payments and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based site. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for enhancements in accessibility and security configurations.
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.
