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

IpMeta.io is a small technology company founded in 2019 that offers a specialized Google Analytics plugin to restore and enhance network-related dimensions such as 'Service Provider' and 'Network Domain' which were removed by Google Analytics in 2020. The service targets digital marketers and website owners who rely on Google Analytics for detailed network insights. IpMeta provides a freemium business model with free limited usage and premium paid plans offering advanced features and higher data limits. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content relevance, though it lacks formal privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and third-party services like Crisp Chat and Snitcher for tracking and support. Hosting is via Amazon S3 for static assets, and the site enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some security headers and published security policies. The domain is privacy protected but consistent with a legitimate small tech business. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity and a solid security posture but should improve privacy compliance and contact transparency.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

IpMeta occupies a niche market position by addressing a specific limitation in Google Analytics, providing enhanced network dimension data to its users. Its freemium model allows broad adoption with a pathway to premium subscriptions, indicating a scalable revenue stream. The target audience includes analytics professionals and marketers seeking deeper insights into visitor networks. The company leverages partnerships with third-party services for analytics and customer support but does not publicly disclose parent or subsidiary relationships. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies may hinder trust and compliance, but the presence on Product Hunt and use of recognized technologies support credibility. Growth potential exists through premium offerings and possible expansion of analytics features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers like Content-Security-Policy, and published security or incident response policies represent gaps. The use of WHOIS privacy protection is justified for the business type. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR and CCPA is addressed in the FAQ, stating no visitor data is stored, but the lack of formal privacy and cookie policies reduces compliance confidence. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could impact security culture and responsiveness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and CCPA compliance.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and incident response channels to increase trust and compliance.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update security practices and transparency to strengthen user confidence and regulatory adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. Static assets are hosted on Amazon S3, ensuring reliable delivery. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred JavaScript. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal but present. The site lacks a CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business model but could benefit from modernization in security and compliance areas.
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.
