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

3 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

  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

ImageKit.io operates in the technology sector, targeting developers and enterprises requiring media optimization and digital asset management. Its SaaS business model focuses on API-driven services for image and video processing, secure media access, and collaboration tools. The company benefits from a consistent brand presence and a clear value proposition emphasizing AI-powered capabilities. The domain age and hosting infrastructure support its established market position. While direct contact details are limited to contact forms, the presence of privacy and cookie policies indicates regulatory awareness. The company does not publicly disclose certifications or incident response details, which could be areas for future enhancement. The marketing ecosystem includes Google Analytics, Plausible, and Reddit Pixel for tracking and retargeting, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced, multiple security headers, and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or a security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with GDPR compliance, but explicit incident response channels are not provided. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing more detailed security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying security certifications or compliance attestations.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, with Chakra UI for styling and Video.js for media playback. Hosting is on AWS, inferred from DNS name servers, providing reliable and scalable infrastructure. Performance is optimized with fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further audited for compliance. The site uses multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Google Analytics, Plausible, and Reddit Pixel, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. No CMS is detected, suggesting a static site generation approach for performance and security benefits. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and modern, supporting the business goals effectively.
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.
