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

IPIDEA is a global enterprise-level proxy IP service provider specializing in residential, data center, ISP, and mobile proxies with extensive global coverage across 220+ countries. The company targets businesses requiring proxy services for web scraping, AI data collection, e-commerce, social media marketing, and market research. Their business model includes API-based proxy access and subscription packages, serving over 30,000 enterprise customers with a large proxy pool and high availability. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks like Nuxt.js and Vue.js, with integrations for analytics and tracking via Baidu and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and offers multiple language code samples for easy integration. Security-wise, the company claims ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications and uses HTTPS with CAPTCHA protections, but lacks visible security headers and incident response contacts. WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional site presence. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating compliance gaps.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

IPIDEA holds a strong market position as a large-scale proxy IP provider with a comprehensive product suite including dynamic and static residential proxies, ISP proxies, data center proxies, and mobile proxies. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive IP pool, global reach, and enterprise-grade service level. The business model is B2B focused, monetizing through API usage and subscription plans. The target customers are enterprises and developers needing reliable proxy services for data collection and automation. The company demonstrates growth through partnerships and a broad service ecosystem but lacks transparent domain registration data, which could impact trust. Their marketing leverages analytics and tracking tools, but privacy compliance needs improvement.

Security posture

The security posture of IPIDEA is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. The company claims compliance with ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 standards, indicating a commitment to quality and information security management. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and lack of published incident response or abuse contacts are weaknesses. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap. The missing WHOIS data reduces trust and could indicate privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be improved with better transparency and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and abuse contact information to facilitate security communication and transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain high standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, supported by jQuery and various third-party scripts for analytics and user interaction. The site is mobile-optimized and provides multiple language code samples for API integration, indicating developer-friendly design. Performance is moderate with preloading of scripts and styles. However, there is no detected CMS, and hosting provider details are not evident. The site lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features but maintains good navigation clarity and professional design. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy compliance, which should be addressed to reduce potential vulnerabilities and regulatory risks.
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.
