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

Formsite is an established online form builder platform offering tools to create professional HTML forms and surveys for collecting orders, registrations, reservations, and customer feedback. The website positions itself as a SaaS provider targeting businesses and professionals seeking customizable online forms. The platform is part of the larger Formstack company, indicating a solid market presence and backing. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a custom theme and leverages modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Osano for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized and includes SEO best practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and technical optimizations. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance mechanisms in place, including a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, but the professional presentation and consistent branding mitigate some concerns. Overall, Formsite presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a mature business model. Strategic improvements in security headers, contact transparency, and accessibility would enhance its security and compliance posture further.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

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

Formsite operates in the competitive online form builder market as a SaaS product under the Formstack umbrella. Its business model focuses on subscription-based access to form creation and data collection tools. The target customers are businesses requiring professional forms for various operational needs. The company leverages partnerships and integrations to expand its ecosystem. Market positioning is solid with a focus on ease of use and professional-grade features. Growth indicators include active social media presence and continuous content updates. The lack of explicit contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on self-service and digital engagement rather than direct sales. The company benefits from the reputation and resources of Formstack, enhancing credibility and operational scale. However, the missing WHOIS data and lack of visible certifications or security policies may be areas to address for improved trust and compliance.

Security posture

Formsite demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The presence of a comprehensive privacy policy further supports compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks if not regularly audited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Add clear and accessible contact information including security and abuse contacts to facilitate communication and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a custom theme and uses jQuery along with modern JavaScript for interactive features. Google Tag Manager and New Relic Browser Agent are employed for analytics and performance monitoring. Osano is used for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the lack of detected security headers and incomplete WHOIS data suggest areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
