Hygraph is a leading technology company specializing in a next-generation GraphQL-native headless CMS platform designed to empower enterprises and technical teams to manage and deliver content efficiently across multiple channels. The company positions itself strongly in the enterprise market with a comprehensive suite of features including flexible content modeling, localization, developer workflows, and extensibility. Their platform is trusted by major global brands and is recognized for its performance, reliability, and developer experience. Technically, Hygraph employs a modern web stack including React and Next.js, supported by Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. The website demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy with extensive user tracking, balanced by a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and maintains enterprise-grade security claims. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no publicly visible dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page, which are areas for improvement. Overall, Hygraph presents a professional, secure, and compliant online presence with strong business credibility. The domain registration details align well with the company's profile, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing explicit security policies, and enhancing vulnerability disclosure transparency to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • 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

Hygraph operates in the competitive headless CMS market, targeting enterprise customers and technical teams who require scalable, flexible content management solutions. Their business model is SaaS-based, offering API-first content delivery with a focus on GraphQL. The company leverages partnerships and a strong customer base including Samsung, Lego, and Siemens, which enhances their market position. Their product differentiators include advanced developer tools, localization capabilities, and content federation. The presence of multiple industry recognitions and G2 badges indicates strong customer satisfaction and market momentum. Hygraph's strategic focus on both content creators and engineering teams allows them to address diverse customer needs effectively.

Security posture

Hygraph demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, and hosting infrastructure via Cloudflare. The company claims enterprise-grade security and compliance with privacy laws including GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from more explicit public documentation and DNS hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy by detailing data retention policies and minimizing tracking where possible.

Opportunities exist to further improve DNS security and public security documentation.
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.
