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

Lokalise Inc. operates a continuous localization and translation management platform designed to integrate seamlessly into development workflows, enabling faster delivery of localized products. The company is positioned as a user-friendly SaaS provider targeting developers, product teams, and localization managers. Founded in 2016 and based in the USA, Lokalise maintains a medium-sized business profile with a focus on technology and software services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear messaging about its services. Technically, the website employs modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS infrastructure, and the site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, accessibility features are basic, and some security best practices like DNSSEC and security headers are not implemented. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, but lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is moderate, with cookie consent implemented but no visible privacy or terms of service pages in the analyzed content. Overall, Lokalise presents a credible and professional online presence with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and transparency around privacy and incident response would enhance trust and compliance.

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

2 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
  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.

    • 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

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

Lokalise holds a strong market position as a specialized SaaS localization platform, leveraging integrations with development workflows to attract technology-focused customers. Its business model centers on subscription-based software services for continuous localization, targeting developers and product teams globally. The company benefits from a consistent brand and professional digital presence, supported by structured data and social media engagement. Growth indicators include the use of advanced marketing tools and a clear focus on user experience. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified, indicating an independent operation. The company’s strategic ecosystem includes partnerships with major cloud providers and integration platforms, enhancing its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The security posture of Lokalise is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies limits its security maturity. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The use of reputable third-party tools for analytics and consent management suggests some attention to privacy and security, but the lack of comprehensive privacy and terms documentation is a compliance gap. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is built on modern technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is on Amazon AWS, indicated by the DNS servers. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) to provide rich metadata about the company and website, aiding SEO. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. However, the absence of CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt is low based on the clean markup and use of modern scripts, but opportunities exist to improve security configurations and accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical foundation supports business goals but can be enhanced for security and compliance robustness.
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.
