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

10 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

The company targets product teams and digital businesses in China, offering a SaaS model focused on user experience analytics and feedback collection. Their competitive advantage lies in ease of integration, multi-platform support, and flexible survey design. The presence of customer logos and case studies indicates active market engagement. Revenue likely derives from subscription plans as indicated by pricing pages. The company was founded in 2020 and operates independently without disclosed parent or subsidiary companies. Their ecosystem includes integrations with major platforms and SDKs for iOS, Android, and mini-programs.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and implements key security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency. GDPR compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent banners or detailed privacy practices visible. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Provide explicit security incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  5. Add direct company contact information such as support emails and phone numbers to improve trust and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering and Emotion for CSS-in-JS styling. It integrates multiple SDKs for cross-platform support including web, iOS, Android, and mini-programs. Hosting is on Alibaba Cloud, consistent with the target market. Performance is optimized with preloading and deferred scripts. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but present. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built solution. The technical stack is mature and well-suited for SaaS delivery, with opportunities to improve accessibility and privacy compliance.
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.
