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

Iconfinder operates as a leading global marketplace specializing in vector icons, illustrations, and 3D illustrations, offering over 9 million assets in various formats such as SVG, AI, and PNG. The platform targets designers, developers, and creative professionals seeking high-quality graphic assets, providing flexible purchasing options including subscriptions and pay-as-you-go models. The website demonstrates a strong market position with a professional and user-friendly interface, supported by a consistent brand presence and positive trust indicators like G2 and Trustpilot reviews. From a technical perspective, Iconfinder employs a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Sentry for error monitoring, and Cloudflare for CDN and security. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, leveraging Bootstrap and Google Fonts. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, cookie consent mechanisms, and secure form implementations, although explicit security headers and dedicated security policies are not clearly documented. The security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response policies, implementing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and ensuring comprehensive security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR considerations. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which should be investigated further. Overall, Iconfinder presents a trustworthy and professional digital asset marketplace with strong technical and privacy foundations. Strategic improvements in domain registration transparency and security policy disclosures would further strengthen its security posture and business credibility.

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 prominent position in the digital asset marketplace sector, offering a vast catalog of icons, illustrations, and 3D graphics. Its business model combines marketplace sales with subscription and pay-as-you-go options, catering to individual designers and teams. The company leverages partnerships and integrations such as API access to expand its service offerings. The target customer segments include creative professionals and enterprises requiring scalable graphic resources. Growth indicators include a large asset library, active social media presence, and positive user reviews. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear pricing, support, and contributor engagement, indicating a mature operational model with potential for further expansion.

Security posture

Iconfinder demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of security monitoring tools like Sentry, and cookie consent management aligned with privacy regulations. The site avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML and employs secure form practices including reCAPTCHA integration. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, absence of a published security policy or incident response plan, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file represent gaps in transparency and formal security governance. These gaps could impact incident handling readiness and user trust in security matters. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern that affects overall trustworthiness and should be addressed promptly.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website footer or about section.
  2. Implement and explicitly configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security transparency.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS domain registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trust signals.
  5. Enhance data protection officer contact visibility and provide clear information on data retention policies to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and robust technical infrastructure utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Fonts for typography, and Cloudflare for CDN and security services. Analytics and monitoring are implemented via Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Sentry, providing comprehensive performance and error tracking. The site loads efficiently with optimized assets and supports mobile devices excellently. JavaScript libraries and third-party scripts are used judiciously, though continuous auditing is recommended to mitigate supply chain risks. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture, which may offer flexibility but requires diligent maintenance. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience with opportunities for further security hardening and documentation.
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.
