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

Icedrive is a cloud storage service operated by Ice Privacy LTD, based in Gibraltar. Founded in 2018, it offers next-generation encrypted cloud storage with a free 10GB tier and multi-platform apps including desktop, mobile, and web. The company positions itself as a privacy-focused alternative in the cloud storage market, targeting both general consumers and professionals. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and comprehensive legal policies, including GDPR compliance and cookie consent mechanisms. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap 4, and FontAwesome, hosted behind Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. Performance is moderate with good SEO and basic accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The security and privacy compliance is adequate but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and incident response procedures. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are listed, but a physical address and support ticket system are available. Social media presence is active across major platforms, supporting trust and marketing efforts. Overall, Icedrive presents a credible and professional cloud storage service with a solid technical foundation and good privacy practices. Strategic improvements in security transparency and DNS security would enhance trust further.

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

6 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 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';…

  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

    • 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

  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

Icedrive operates in the competitive cloud storage sector with a focus on encryption and user privacy. Its business model includes free and paid subscription plans, appealing to both individual users and professionals. The company leverages a multi-platform approach with apps for desktop, mobile, and web, enhancing accessibility and user engagement. Market positioning emphasizes next-generation technology and privacy, differentiating it from larger incumbents. The Gibraltar location may offer regulatory advantages. The company maintains an active social media presence and provides comprehensive legal documentation, indicating maturity and compliance focus. No subsidiaries or partners were identified from the data. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and possibly enterprise plans. Growth indicators include ongoing feature development and app expansion as stated on the site.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, providing a strong baseline for transport security and availability. Domain registration is locked against transfer, and the domain age supports legitimacy. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. No explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the HTML content, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The site includes a cookie consent banner aligned with GDPR requirements but lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers, DNSSEC, and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website to increase transparency and user trust.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear company contact emails or phone numbers for support and security inquiries to improve communication channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but straightforward technology stack including jQuery 3.3.1, Bootstrap 4 grid system, and FontAwesome icons. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism and legal pages supporting GDPR compliance. Technical risks are low, but lack of DNSSEC and security headers represent areas for improvement. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries in the visible code.
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.
