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

Geocode.xyz is a specialized geocoding and geoparsing service provider offering API and batch geocoding solutions to developers, GIS professionals, and businesses worldwide. The platform provides mapping, location data parsing, and export features with a focus on global coverage and data accuracy. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and technical content relevant to its target audience. Technically, the site uses a modern but partly outdated technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Leaflet.js, and is hosted and registered via Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security at the infrastructure level. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not provide explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

The business operates in the technology sector, focusing on geospatial data services. It targets developers and organizations needing geocoding and geoparsing capabilities, offering both free and paid API access. The company appears small but established since 2015, with Cloudflare as registrar and hosting provider, indicating a stable infrastructure. The lack of visible contact emails or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital and self-service business model. The presence of AWS marketplace listing and partnerships with data providers like poidata.xyz indicate strategic ecosystem integration. The business model relies on API usage and batch processing services, catering to a niche but global market. Growth potential exists through enhanced service offerings and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare for domain registration and hosting, providing a solid baseline security infrastructure. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the HTML content. Security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by adopting modern security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security culture.
  5. Consider updating outdated libraries like jQuery to more recent versions to reduce potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Bootstrap for responsive design, Leaflet.js for mapping, and jQuery 1.10.2 for scripting, which is somewhat outdated. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and integrates with AWS marketplace for cloud deployment options. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph images. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
