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

Iconfinder operates as a leading global marketplace specializing in vector icons, illustrations, and 3D illustrations, serving millions of graphics to designers and creative professionals worldwide. The platform offers a mix of free and premium content, supported by subscription models such as Pro subscriptions and pay-as-you-go options, positioning itself strongly in the digital design asset market. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and user-centric design, with clear navigation and a comprehensive offering of graphic assets and services including API access and custom icon design. From a technical perspective, Iconfinder employs a modern and robust technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Sentry for error monitoring, and Cloudflare for hosting and performance optimization. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, fast loading, and incorporates accessibility and SEO best practices. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, cookie consent mechanisms, and secure form implementations, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. The security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency and legitimacy verification. Despite this, the website's trust indicators such as third-party reviews and clear privacy policies support its credibility. Overall, the risk profile is moderate with recommendations to enhance transparency around security policies and domain registration details. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and improving domain registration transparency to bolster trust and compliance. These steps will enhance the security culture and support long-term business resilience.

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

4 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 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 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

Iconfinder holds a competitive position as a specialized marketplace in the digital design asset sector, leveraging a large catalog of icons, illustrations, and 3D graphics created by independent designers. Its business model combines free content with subscription and pay-per-use pricing, targeting individual designers, teams, and enterprises. The platform's integration of API services and custom design offerings expands its revenue streams and market reach. Partnerships with review platforms like G2 and Trustpilot enhance its market credibility. Growth indicators include a broad user base, active designer community, and continuous feature updates. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and comprehensive content, supporting customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

Iconfinder demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling including reCAPTCHA, and use of monitoring tools like Sentry. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure program represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. The domain's WHOIS data absence is a notable concern for trust and legitimacy verification. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance and incident response communications.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page accessible from the website footer.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms to maintain regulatory alignment.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack leveraging popular frameworks and services such as Bootstrap for UI, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, Sentry for error monitoring, and Cloudflare for hosting and performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and well-structured with valid HTML and CSS. Use of Google Fonts and asynchronous script loading contributes to performance. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of explicit security headers documentation and domain registration transparency could pose future challenges. Opportunities exist to formalize security practices and improve domain management visibility.
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.
