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 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

  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

The company operates a SaaS business model delivering AI-enhanced documentation tools that integrate with popular helpdesk platforms like Zendesk and Freshdesk. Their market positioning emphasizes speed, automation, and ease of use, appealing to product teams aiming to reduce support costs and improve customer satisfaction. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and enterprise licensing. The presence of sister companies and a parent company suggests a strategic partnership ecosystem enhancing their market reach. Growth indicators include extensive customer logos, positive reviews, and detailed product features. The company targets technology sectors and product teams, with a focus on innovation and AI integration.

Security posture

InstantDocs demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicates areas for improvement. Incident response readiness is not clearly communicated, which could impact rapid response to security events. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by privacy policy and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to enhance trust.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The use of Google Tag Manager and vanilla-cookieconsent indicates a mature approach to analytics and privacy management. The site features well-structured metadata, Open Graph tags, and SEO optimizations. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built solution. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and performance, with no critical technical debt or vulnerabilities observed. Opportunities exist to further modernize DNS security and improve incident response mechanisms.
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.
