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

Lingohub is a technology company specializing in translation and localization management software designed to streamline and automate the localization process for various user groups including managers, translators, developers, and designers. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Austria, Lingohub offers a SaaS platform with robust CAT tools, translation memory, machine translation, and integration capabilities with popular development and design tools. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for enterprises and developers seeking efficient localization workflows. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, and uses a headless CMS (Storyblok) for content management. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices. However, the security posture is currently weak due to an invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which poses a critical risk to user trust and data security. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms in place. Overall, Lingohub presents a professional and credible online presence but must urgently address SSL and TLS issues to improve security and trustworthiness.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Lingohub operates in the technology sector, focusing on localization and translation management solutions. Its business model is SaaS-based, targeting a diverse audience including product managers, translators, developers, and designers. The company leverages integrations with popular tools like GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and CMS platforms to enhance workflow efficiency. Lingohub maintains a medium-sized business profile with a solid market position supported by enterprise clients and developer communities. The presence of a marketplace for translators and budget control features indicates a comprehensive ecosystem approach. The company actively engages in affiliate marketing and uses tracking tools like FirstPromoter to support growth. Its digital maturity is evidenced by the use of modern web technologies and a well-structured content strategy. The business intelligence suggests a focus on scalability, automation, and collaboration as key competitive advantages.

Security posture

The current security posture of Lingohub's website is suboptimal. Despite having security headers like strict-transport-security, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no TLS protocols or cipher suites are enabled, which is a critical vulnerability. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further weakens the security configuration. While the site has a dedicated security page, no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, indicating compliance with GDPR. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate undermines user trust and exposes the site to potential man-in-the-middle attacks. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is necessary to elevate the security posture to an acceptable level.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and secure communications.
  2. Enable and configure TLS 1.2 or higher protocols with strong cipher suites to protect data in transit.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Enhance security headers by enabling HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  5. Establish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Maintain transparency in privacy and cookie policies and ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  8. Improve monitoring and alerting for security incidents to enhance response readiness.
  9. Promote security awareness and best practices within the organization and user community.
  10. Plan for long-term security strategy including penetration testing and compliance certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

Lingohub's website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, and managed via a headless CMS (Storyblok). The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile responsiveness, and SEO optimization. However, performance metrics were not available, limiting assessment of loading speed. Accessibility features appear to be well implemented. The site integrates with various external services including social media, documentation, help center, and affiliate marketing tools. Despite the advanced technical infrastructure, the critical lack of a valid SSL certificate and TLS support represents a significant technical risk. Addressing these security gaps will improve overall infrastructure robustness and user trust. The use of JSON-LD structured data and Open Graph tags enhances SEO and social sharing capabilities.
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.
