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

4 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 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 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

Match.com UK operates within the online dating sector, leveraging a subscription-based business model with free registration to attract users. The company targets adults in the UK seeking romantic connections, including support for bisexuality, indicating inclusivity. The platform benefits from a strong brand presence and a network of partner sites across Europe, enhancing market reach. Revenue streams likely include premium subscriptions and advertising. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and provides mobile apps to capture mobile user segments. Strategic partnerships with Meetic and LoveScout24 suggest a collaborative ecosystem to maximize user engagement and market penetration. The business demonstrates maturity with established privacy and cookie policies, aligning with GDPR requirements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, there is limited visibility into internal security policies or incident response mechanisms, which could be improved for transparency. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests an opportunity to enhance security communication with users and researchers. Overall, the platform appears secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from enhanced security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with best practices and broaden user inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Increase visibility of company contact information to improve business credibility and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, notably React, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses web fonts for consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the use of Akamai CDN assets indicates a robust content delivery infrastructure. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
