Security score

69/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The analyzed page at forms.gle is an error page indicating an invalid dynamic link related to Google's Firebase Dynamic Links service. The page is minimal, containing only basic HTML with an error message and a link to firebase.google.com. There is no substantive business content, no privacy or cookie policies, no contact information, and no forms or interactive elements. The domain forms.gle is a legitimate Google-owned domain used for URL shortening and dynamic linking within Google's ecosystem. The technical infrastructure is basic but secure, served over HTTPS and hosted on Google Cloud. Security posture is adequate given the lack of interactive elements, but the page lacks security headers and privacy compliance indicators. Overall, the page serves a narrow technical purpose and does not represent a full business website or service landing page.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

The domain forms.gle is owned by Google LLC, a global technology leader and subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. The service is part of Google's Firebase platform, targeting developers who use dynamic links in mobile and web applications. The business model is integrated within Google's broader cloud and developer services ecosystem. There are no direct revenue streams or customer-facing business content on this error page. The target audience is developers and technical users. The domain and service benefit from Google's strong market position and brand recognition. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated on this page.

Security posture

The security posture of the page is basic but sufficient for its purpose. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected in the provided data. There are no forms or inputs, reducing attack surface. No privacy or security policies are presented, which is typical for an error page but limits compliance visibility. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data are evident. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent. Overall, the security posture is adequate but minimal.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance security.
  2. Provide links to privacy and cookie policies even on error pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Include contact or support information for developers encountering errors to improve user experience.
  4. Add structured data or metadata to improve SEO and accessibility even on error pages.
  5. Regularly review error pages for consistency with corporate branding and security best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The page is a simple HTML document with inline styles and a base64-encoded image. It uses the Roboto font family and minimal CSS for layout. No JavaScript or external scripts are loaded. The hosting is on Google infrastructure with HTTPS enabled. The page lacks advanced technical features such as frameworks, CMS, or analytics. Performance is expected to be fast due to minimal content. Mobile optimization is basic but present via viewport meta tag. Accessibility is limited due to minimal content and lack of ARIA or semantic tags. SEO optimization is poor given the lack of metadata beyond the title tag.
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.
