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

Freepik Company, S.L. operates a comprehensive AI-powered creative suite and stock asset platform, targeting designers, marketers, and content creators globally. The website offers a wide range of AI tools including image, video, and audio generators, alongside traditional stock assets such as photos, vectors, and icons. The business model is subscription and credit-based, supporting professional and personal creative projects. Freepik holds a strong market position as a leading provider in the creative technology space with a consistent brand presence and extensive social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks like Next.js and React, leveraging CDN hosting and advanced consent management tools such as OneTrust. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, ensuring a high-quality user experience. Analytics and tracking are implemented moderately with Google Tag Manager and Apollo Tracker, balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms. From a security perspective, Freepik enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and integrates cookie consent management. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain registration transparency but does not significantly detract from the overall legitimacy given the brand's maturity and external trust signals. Overall, Freepik presents a secure, professional, and privacy-conscious platform with strong business credibility. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and improving WHOIS transparency to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. 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
    • 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

Freepik is positioned as a major player in the creative technology sector, offering a unique combination of AI-driven creative tools and extensive stock asset libraries. Its subscription and credit-based revenue model caters to a broad audience from individual creatives to enterprises. The company leverages partnerships with review platforms and maintains active social media channels to enhance brand visibility and customer engagement. Growth indicators include continuous AI tool expansion and multi-language support, reflecting a global market approach. The business ecosystem is supported by modern digital infrastructure and compliance with GDPR, positioning Freepik well for sustained competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of consent management tools. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. The company provides legal indemnification only for Enterprise customers, indicating a tiered risk management approach. Enhancing transparency around security governance and incident handling would improve overall security maturity and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Update WHOIS registration details to improve transparency and trustworthiness.

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. It uses CDN providers for static content delivery, enhancing performance and availability. The presence of OneTrust for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics reflects a mature approach to privacy and data collection. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with well-structured metadata and SEO tags. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, responsive, and user-friendly experience with room for enhanced security documentation.
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.
