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

Lokalise Inc. operates a SaaS localization and translation management platform designed to integrate seamlessly into software development workflows, enabling faster delivery of localized products. The company is positioned as a user-friendly solution targeting developers, product teams, and localization managers. Founded in 2016 and based in the USA, Lokalise maintains a medium-sized business profile with a consistent brand presence and good content quality on its website. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript technologies, including Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features, with SEO best practices implemented through meta tags and structured data. From a security perspective, the website employs HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security governance. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent mechanisms, but the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service reduces compliance confidence. Overall, Lokalise presents a credible and professional online presence with moderate security posture and technical maturity. Strategic enhancements in privacy documentation, security policy publication, and DNS security would strengthen 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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

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 competitive position in the localization technology market by offering a continuous localization platform that integrates with development workflows. Its SaaS business model targets software development teams requiring efficient translation management. The company benefits from a clear brand identity, structured data presence, and social media engagement on LinkedIn, Twitter, and GitHub. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans for its platform. The company’s partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but the use of third-party analytics and consent tools indicates integration with established service providers. Growth indicators include consistent domain registration since 2016 and active use of marketing and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests potential vulnerabilities to DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent, but the missing privacy policy and terms of service are compliance gaps. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the website footer.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan including dedicated contact channels.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and GDPR adherence explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer, and OneTrust for analytics and consent management. Hosting is on Amazon AWS, providing robust infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and includes structured data for SEO benefits. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals but has room for security and performance enhancements.
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.
