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

Graze.social is a technology company specializing in providing a SaaS platform for building custom social feeds on the Bluesky network using the ATProto protocol. The platform targets feed curators, brands, publishers, developers, and advertisers, enabling them to create personalized feeds, monetize content, and engage audiences without coding. The website demonstrates a strong market position with a growing user base and a clear value proposition centered on user control over social algorithms. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including React, JavaScript, and integrates third-party services such as Crisp chat, Beehiiv newsletter, and Plausible analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and well-structured with good SEO and accessibility features. However, some security best practices like explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are not visibly implemented. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. The lack of public WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, which is common and justified for startups. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The site lacks publicly disclosed incident response or security policies, which could be improved to enhance trust. Overall, Graze.social presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically mature platform with minor areas for security and privacy compliance improvements. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding cookie consent to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

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

Graze.social operates in the emerging social media technology sector, focusing on custom feed creation for the Bluesky platform. Its competitive advantage lies in enabling users to own their social algorithms and monetize feeds directly, bypassing traditional platform controls. The business model is SaaS-based with revenue likely from subscriptions, advertising sponsorships, and premium features such as private feeds and API access. The target customers include individual content curators, brands, publishers, developers, and advertisers seeking direct audience engagement. Growth indicators include a user base of over 7.9 million users and 6,500 feeds. The company maintains an active community via Discord and Bluesky social profiles, supporting customer engagement and feedback. Partnerships with Bluesky and integration with Patreon and Beehiiv enhance its ecosystem. The company appears to be a small but focused startup with a clear niche and growth potential.

Security posture

The security posture of Graze.social is moderate to strong. The website enforces HTTPS, uses modern frameworks, and avoids exposing sensitive information. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are found, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is a gap in responsible security practices. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR indicators, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could improve by adopting additional security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent to enhance compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide additional business verification information to improve 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.
