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

Genially Web S.L. operates the website genially.com, a SaaS platform founded in 2015 that enables users to create interactive and animated content for eLearning, teaching, and marketing purposes. The platform targets educators, marketers, and content creators seeking no-code authoring and gamification tools. The company positions itself as an easy-to-use solution for interactive content creation, supported by a modern web presence and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built using React and Gatsby, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and employs industry-standard tools such as OneTrust for cookie consent and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and A/B testing. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. The domain is registered with Amazon Registrar, Inc. since 2015, consistent with the company's founding date. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, but no public security policy or incident response contacts are found. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, genially.com presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security hardening. Strategic enhancements in security policies, DNS security, and compliance documentation would strengthen its risk posture and user trust.

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

2 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 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

      • 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

Genially operates in the education technology sector, offering a SaaS platform for interactive content creation. Its competitive advantage lies in no-code tools and gamification features that appeal to educators and marketers. The business model is subscription-based with a freemium entry point. The company has a medium-sized presence with a consistent brand and active social media channels. Growth indicators include ongoing platform updates and integrations with marketing and analytics tools. Partnerships with cookie consent and analytics providers support compliance and data-driven marketing. The company’s operations appear focused on digital content creation and user engagement, with no indications of physical product lines or extensive subsidiaries.

Security posture

The security maturity of genially.com is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes protective status flags. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security.txt, and explicit security headers such as CSP or X-Frame-Options suggests gaps in defense-in-depth. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which may limit transparency. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks if not properly managed. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend built with Gatsby, leveraging static site generation for performance. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure with Amazon Registrar as the domain registrar. The site integrates OneTrust for cookie consent management and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and A/B testing. Performance is optimized with preloading scripts and fonts. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO metadata is well structured with Open Graph and JSON-LD data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and modern but can be enhanced with additional security and compliance features.
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.
