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. 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

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

Smash targets individuals and businesses needing to transfer large files securely and efficiently. Its freemium business model with paid Pro and Team plans offers unlimited uploads and advanced features. The company has a strong market position as a sustainable and secure alternative in the file transfer industry. It maintains a strong social media presence and trust signals including a high Trustpilot rating and external security audits. The company was founded in 2016 and operates primarily in France. The platform supports integrations such as an Outlook plugin and a public API, enhancing its appeal to professional users and developers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, advanced encryption for files in transit and at rest, ephemeral and password-protected links, and regular security audits by a reputable external firm. However, there is no explicit incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure page found, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. Overall, the security practices align well with industry standards for a file transfer service.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information or dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Review and explicitly implement and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Continue regular external security audits and consider publishing audit summaries to enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Angular 17.3.12 framework, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end technology stack. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Hosting appears professional with OVH as registrar and AWS DNS services. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with efficient loading of fonts and assets. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom-built solution. Technical risks are minimal but could be further reduced by enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security headers.
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.
