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

Getlink.space is a newly launched (June 2024) online URL shortening service offering free and customizable short links with analytics and link management features. The service targets general internet users, businesses, and influencers seeking to simplify link sharing and track link performance. The website is built using modern web technologies including SvelteKit and Bootstrap, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and protected by privacy-protected domain registration. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and multi-language support. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot CAPTCHA on forms, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and terms of service present but no cookie consent mechanism despite use of Google Adsense and Tag Manager. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are provided, only a contact form. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but could improve in security and privacy transparency.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Getlink.space operates in the technology sector providing URL shortening and link management services. Its business model appears to be free usage supported by advertising (Google Adsense). The target market includes general users and businesses needing link customization and analytics. The company is small and newly founded, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. The use of privacy protection for domain registration is typical for small online services. The site’s multi-language support and social sharing features indicate an intent to reach a broad global audience. The lack of direct contact details and limited privacy compliance may impact trust for some users. No partnerships or related domains were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS with clientTransferProhibited domain status, indicating basic security hygiene. The presence of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on the URL shortening form helps mitigate automated abuse. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended best practices. There is no public security policy or incident response information, nor a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. Privacy compliance is limited, lacking cookie consent mechanisms despite tracking scripts. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing additional DNS and HTTP security controls and improving transparency around security and privacy.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie policy and explicit consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations given the use of tracking and advertising scripts.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

  4. Use of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on form indicates anti-bot measures.
  5. No security.txt or incident response information publicly available.
  6. Domain is very new (created June 2024) but uses privacy protection and Cloudflare DNS.
  7. No adult or questionable content detected despite links to adult platforms (e.g. PornHub) for link shortening.

  9. Technical implementation uses modern frameworks (SvelteKit, Bootstrap) with moderate performance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with SvelteKit and Bootstrap for frontend development, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface. Hosting appears to be managed via Beget LLC with Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring reliable DNS resolution and some security benefits. Google Adsense and Tag Manager are integrated for advertising and analytics, though cookie consent is missing. Performance is moderate with module preloading and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility is basic but functional. The site lacks a CMS and appears custom-built. Technical debt is low given the recent launch, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
