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

InstaDo is an online freelance marketplace operated by Cashiva Community Limited Liability Company, registered in Kyrgyzstan. The platform targets freelancers and employers seeking remote work opportunities, emphasizing safe deals through an escrow service. The website offers features such as freelancer search, task creation, milestone payments, and hiring multiple freelancers. The business is relatively new, founded in 2024, and positions itself as a reliable niche player in the freelance market. Technically, the site is built on Angular 18 with a linked Android app, but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security concern. Security configurations include SPF and DMARC for email, but no HTTPS or advanced security headers are implemented. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional and functional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and build trust.

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

5 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 a small-sized technology sector business focused on freelance services. Its business model revolves around connecting freelancers with employers, offering escrow payment protection to mitigate deal failures. The platform supports multiple service categories including design, IT development, marketing, and research. The presence of verified freelancers, user reviews, and a licensed company registration enhances credibility. The target audience includes both novice and professional freelancers and employers seeking remote work solutions. The company leverages partnerships with payment guarantee services like guarantee.money. Growth indicators include a mobile app presence and active user engagement via Yandex Metrika analytics. Strategic observations suggest focusing on improving security and privacy compliance to enhance market trust and expand user base.

Security posture

The current security posture of InstaDo is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While SPF and DMARC records are correctly configured to protect email integrity, the lack of HSTS, OCSP stapling, session resumption, and other security headers indicates incomplete security hardening. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect GDPR compliance. These gaps pose significant risks to user data confidentiality and platform trustworthiness. Immediate remediation is necessary to secure communications and demonstrate compliance with data protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels for reporting issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is developed using modern Angular framework (version 18) and TypeScript, indicating a contemporary tech stack. It integrates Swiper.js for UI components and links to an Android app on Google Play, showing multi-platform presence. However, performance is suboptimal with a load time exceeding 20 seconds and a high number of resources (188), suggesting potential optimization needs. Accessibility and SEO are implemented at a basic to good level, with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks a CMS, implying a custom-built solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt is evident in missing HTTPS and security best practices, which could impact user trust and operational security. Modernization efforts should focus on performance optimization and security enhancements to support business growth.
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.
