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

iDMe is a New Zealand-based technology service providing a digital contact tracing and check-in solution using personal QR codes. The website serves as a Progressive Web App allowing users to enter and store their contact details securely on their devices and share them touchfree with venues or event hosts. The business targets general users and venues requiring contact tracing capabilities, positioning itself as a niche local service launched around 2020. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including service workers for offline use and standard web forms for data collection. While the site is mobile optimized and offers a good user experience, it lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business location and founding date. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in security and privacy compliance aspects.

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 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';…

  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

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 operates in the technology sector focusing on digital contact tracing, a service that gained importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its business model revolves around providing a free or low-cost tool for users and venues to facilitate safe check-ins and contact data sharing. The target customers include event organizers, venues, and individuals in New Zealand. The company appears small in size with no visible parent or subsidiary relationships. The lack of advertising and tracking indicates a privacy-conscious approach, though formal policies are minimal. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website, and the company maintains direct control over its domain and hosting. Growth potential exists in expanding features or integrations with larger event management platforms.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and registers a service worker, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement. Forms collect sensitive personal data but no explicit mention of encryption beyond HTTPS or data protection policies is present. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but lacks comprehensive controls and transparency expected for handling personal data.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance statements and cookie consent mechanisms.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to improve security transparency and responsiveness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built as a Progressive Web App using standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery UI and Font Awesome for UI elements. It registers a service worker enabling offline functionality. The hosting is provided by a New Zealand-based registrar and hosting provider, Voyager Internet Ltd T/A 1st Domains. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators but mobile responsiveness is good. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are limited but basic form validation is present. There is no CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security 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.
