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

3 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';…

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

Global-e operates in the e-commerce sector, providing a platform that facilitates global cross-border shopping experiences. Their business model focuses on enabling merchants to localize and streamline international sales, including payment and logistics solutions. The company targets merchants and shoppers globally, positioning itself as a key player in the global e-commerce ecosystem. The website's content and structure reflect a large enterprise with a sophisticated marketing and analytics ecosystem. Partnerships and investor relations are highlighted through linked subdomains. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals, though direct contact information is not prominently displayed on the homepage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. Multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts are used, which increases the attack surface but are standard for enterprise marketing. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response page are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information on the website.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Verify and make publicly available domain registration details to improve trust and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and flexible content management approach. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and ZoomInfo Pixel, reflecting a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of third-party scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in security header deployment and domain registration transparency.
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.
