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

Mapbox is a leading technology company specializing in providing APIs and SDKs for AI-powered maps, location search, turn-by-turn navigation, and geospatial data services for mobile and web applications. The company targets developers and enterprises seeking advanced location-based services integrated into their applications. Their market position is strong, with a comprehensive suite of mapping and navigation tools that leverage AI technologies to enhance user experience. Technically, Mapbox's website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure, utilizing modern web technologies such as Webflow CMS, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for privacy compliance, and various marketing and analytics tools. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO, reflecting a high level of technical sophistication. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, employs multiple security headers, and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, indicating good security hygiene. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement in transparency and security communication. Overall, Mapbox presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and technical implementation. The main risk factor is the lack of accessible WHOIS data, which is unusual for a company of this stature and could warrant further investigation. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information to 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

1 finding 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Mapbox operates in the technology and transportation sectors, providing location-based services primarily through APIs and SDKs. Their business model is platform-based, offering scalable mapping and navigation solutions to developers and enterprises. The company benefits from a strong brand presence, consistent and professional digital content, and a broad ecosystem of integrations and partnerships. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for API usage and enterprise licensing. The target customer segments include mobile and web app developers, enterprises requiring geospatial data, and industries needing navigation solutions. Growth indicators include the adoption of AI-powered features and integration with modern analytics and marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes major technology providers and marketing platforms, enhancing their market reach and operational capabilities.

Security posture

Mapbox demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent compliance. The use of OneTrust indicates attention to privacy regulations such as GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but additional certifications or frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST) are not publicly indicated. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy protections.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Performance is optimized with CDN usage for static assets and deferred script loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata. The technical stack includes integrations with Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, Clearbit for lead enrichment, Jetboost for dynamic content, and VWO for A/B testing.

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.
