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

ixBrowser is a technology company offering a free anti-detect browser designed to help users manage multiple online accounts securely by controlling digital fingerprint parameters. The website positions itself as a cost-effective solution with advanced features such as team management, fingerprint security, and support for browser extensions. The business model is freemium, with paid plans unlocking additional capabilities. The domain is relatively new, registered in 2022, consistent with the product's launch timeline. The website is hosted with Alibaba Cloud and uses Cloudflare DNS services, indicating a reliable hosting infrastructure. Technically, the site uses common web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, and integrates Google Analytics and Trustpilot widgets for analytics and trust signals. The site is mobile responsive and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is enabled, but security headers are missing, and no explicit privacy or cookie policies are found. No contact information or incident response details are published, which reduces transparency and trust. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

9 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

ixBrowser targets users who require anonymity and multi-account management online, such as social media marketers, e-commerce operators, and traffic arbitrage professionals. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a permanently free anti-detect browser with advanced fingerprint customization and team collaboration features. Revenue streams include subscription plans for professional, business, and enterprise tiers. The company leverages Alibaba Cloud infrastructure and Cloudflare DNS for hosting and performance. The presence of an affiliate rewards program suggests a marketing strategy focused on user acquisition through referrals. The website content and testimonials indicate a growing user base and positive user feedback. However, the lack of detailed corporate contact information and privacy policies may limit trust among more security-conscious customers.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security maturity. The use of older jQuery version (1.12.4) could pose potential security risks if not properly maintained. No DNSSEC is enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may be a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain security.
  5. Update third-party libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery 1.12.4, Bootstrap CSS, and Font Awesome for UI components. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics for tracking and Trustpilot for user reviews. Hosting is provided by Alibaba Cloud with DNS managed by Cloudflare, which offers performance and security benefits. The site is mobile responsive with good UX design and clear navigation. However, the use of an older jQuery version and absence of modern security headers indicate some technical debt. SEO optimization is basic with meta keywords and description present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques observed. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected in the provided HTML snippet.
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.
