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

Freepik Company, S.L. operates a leading AI-powered creative suite and stock asset platform targeting creative professionals, marketers, and designers worldwide. The website offers a comprehensive range of AI tools for image and video generation, editing, and enhancement, alongside a vast library of stock photos, vectors, videos, audio, and design resources. The business model is subscription-based with free and premium tiers, providing commercial licenses and extensive creative capabilities. Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, integrates Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for analytics and privacy compliance, and is hosted on CDN-backed infrastructure ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the site's professional presentation and market position. Overall, Freepik demonstrates a mature digital presence with robust technical and business foundations.

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 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
    • 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 holds a strong market position as a comprehensive AI creative platform and stock asset provider, serving over 600,000 creative teams and professionals globally. Its competitive advantage lies in integrating AI tools directly with stock asset offerings, enabling seamless creative workflows. Revenue streams include subscription plans with monthly and annual billing, credit-based AI content generation, and premium asset downloads. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem including app stores and design platforms like Figma. Growth indicators include continuous feature expansion, new AI tools, and a broad multilingual presence. Strategic observations highlight the importance of enhancing transparency around privacy and security policies to further solidify trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Google Identity Services for authentication, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR principles. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR is partially demonstrated through cookie consent but lacks visible privacy policy linkage. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly evident. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publicly expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to improve trust.
  5. Continue to monitor and update security headers and compliance mechanisms to maintain strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and fast client-side interactivity. It uses CDN services for asset delivery, contributing to fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Integration with Google Tag Manager and OneTrust indicates mature analytics and privacy management. The site is well-structured with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible outdated libraries or performance bottlenecks. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation around security and privacy compliance.
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.
