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

The website geoip-js.com serves as a technical domain providing JavaScript and web service endpoints for MaxMind, Inc.'s GeoIP2 JavaScript Client API. MaxMind is a recognized provider of IP geolocation services, and this domain supports their API offerings. The site content is minimal but focused, linking to MaxMind's comprehensive privacy policy and describing the service purpose clearly. The target audience primarily includes developers and businesses seeking IP geolocation capabilities. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, hosted via Cloudflare DNS services, but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The domain is registered with Cloudflare, Inc. as registrar with appropriate domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC.

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 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

MaxMind, Inc. operates in the technology sector, specializing in IP geolocation services. The business model revolves around providing API access to geolocation data, targeting developers and enterprises requiring location-based services. The domain geoip-js.com is consistent with MaxMind's branding and service offerings. The company maintains a medium-sized presence with a focus on technology solutions. The lack of direct contact information or marketing content on this domain suggests it is a technical service endpoint rather than a customer-facing marketing site. The linkage to MaxMind's main privacy policy indicates centralized governance of compliance and data protection.

Security posture

The security posture of the domain is moderate. The domain registration includes clientDeleteProhibited, clientTransferProhibited, and clientUpdateProhibited status flags, which protect against unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. The website content does not reveal any security headers or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and terms of service on this domain may be a compliance gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the domain appears secure but could benefit from enhanced security policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple, clean technical stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and hosts fonts from MaxMind's own CDN. The domain is registered and hosted via Cloudflare, providing reliable DNS services. Performance is likely moderate given the minimal content and external font loading. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features but maintains consistent branding. There is no CMS detected, indicating a static or minimal dynamic site. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts suggests a privacy-conscious implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize with enhanced accessibility, SEO, and security headers to improve overall technical maturity.
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.
