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

Hivebrite is a technology company based in France, founded in 2020, offering a best-in-class online community engagement platform. The platform is positioned as a customizable SaaS solution designed to drive organic connections and positive impact across communities. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting organizations seeking to build and manage online communities effectively. Technically, the site is built on WordPress CMS with integrations including Yoast SEO, Cookiebot for consent management, HubSpot, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not evident in the provided content. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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. 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 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

Hivebrite operates in the technology sector, focusing on community engagement software delivered as a SaaS platform. The company targets medium to large organizations that require customizable online community management tools. The business model relies on subscription-based software services, supported by a professional website with integrated marketing and analytics tools. The company maintains active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement. The domain age and registrant information are consistent with a relatively new but established business entity. No suspicious patterns or privacy protection obfuscations were detected, supporting a credible business operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection indicates room for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of reputable third-party services like Cookiebot for consent management and HubSpot for analytics suggests attention to privacy and data handling, but the lack of a formal privacy policy page reduces compliance confidence. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use and maintain secure form handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular plugins like Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. It integrates marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a sophisticated approach to user engagement and data analysis. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features appear basic. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. The technical stack is modern and well-supported but requires enhancements in security configurations and privacy documentation to align with best practices.
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.
