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

Loomio Cooperative Limited operates a collaborative decision-making platform designed to help organizations make inclusive, transparent, and efficient decisions without the need for meetings. The website positions Loomio as a tool for membership organizations, governance boards, and self-managing companies, emphasizing open source availability and privacy. The platform offers cloud hosting with options for private hosting and self-hosting, supporting various voting and polling methods and integration APIs. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Alpine.js and custom CSS, with a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible design. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and minimal third-party tracking, though some security headers and explicit incident response policies are absent. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but the overall professional presentation and trust indicators support legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and adding cookie consent mechanisms.

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

5 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 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 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Loomio occupies a niche market in collaborative decision-making software, targeting non-profit and cooperative sectors as well as governance bodies and self-managed organizations. Its open source model and privacy-first approach differentiate it from competitors. The business model includes SaaS cloud services, private hosting with advanced security features, and self-hosting options. The company demonstrates strong community engagement through blogs, case studies, and social media presence. Testimonials from recognized organizations and a consistent brand identity reinforce credibility. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not currently undermine operational legitimacy. Growth potential lies in expanding integrations and formalizing security and compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids third-party trackers, using in-house analytics and minimal cookies, which is positive for privacy and security. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose users to certain risks. No explicit vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency in security incident handling. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness and could be a concern for phishing or impersonation risks, though no direct evidence of malicious activity is found. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust scores.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications or compliance attestations to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern, lightweight technologies such as Alpine.js and custom CSS, ensuring fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The site structure is clear and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be cloud-based with options for regional data storage, supporting privacy and compliance needs. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or static site approach, which can reduce attack surface but requires disciplined maintenance. No major technical debt or performance issues are evident. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize integration APIs and documentation for better developer experience.
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.
