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 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

  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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 11 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

IPinfo.io operates in the technology sector, focusing on IP data intelligence services delivered via APIs and downloadable databases. Its business model centers on Data-as-a-Service, targeting developers and enterprises requiring accurate IP geolocation, ASN, and privacy-related data. The company enjoys a strong market position as a trusted leader with over 500,000 developers using its services. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans for various product tiers (Lite, Core, Plus, Business, Enterprise). The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major platforms and marketing tools. The company demonstrates growth through continuous data accuracy improvements and a broad product portfolio. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining data accuracy, expanding enterprise features, and enhancing security transparency to sustain competitive advantage.

Security posture

IPinfo.io exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. The absence of DNSSEC is a notable gap that could expose DNS spoofing risks. Security headers are not explicitly visible but likely implemented given the professional nature of the site. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident handling. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policy content. Overall, the security maturity is strong but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and formalized security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options for enhanced protection.
  5. Consider providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers for sales and support to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It uses Typekit for fonts and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as PostHog, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot Forms, and ConvertExperiments for A/B testing. Hosting is managed via Google Cloud DNS, providing reliable infrastructure. The site demonstrates fast loading times, excellent mobile responsiveness, and good accessibility features. There is no evidence of a traditional CMS, indicating a custom-built solution. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for improvement in DNS security and explicit security header implementation.
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.
