75/100

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

MeWe is a privacy-focused social networking platform established in 2002, positioning itself as a next-generation social network with no ads and no spyware. The platform offers chat and group functionalities targeting users who prioritize privacy and control over their social interactions. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Ember.js and is hosted on AWS infrastructure, ensuring a scalable and performant environment. The website design is professional and mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration well-managed; however, the absence of security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies indicates room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. Overall, the site is trustworthy with a moderate risk profile due to missing compliance documentation and security headers.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MeWe operates in the technology sector as a social networking service emphasizing user privacy and ad-free experience. Its business model likely includes freemium or subscription elements given the no-ads claim. The company has a long-standing domain registration dating back to 2002, indicating established market presence. The target audience includes privacy-conscious social media users. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its privacy-first approach contrasting with mainstream social networks. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified in the provided data. The company maintains consistent branding and a clear market position as a privacy-centric social network.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited transparency in security governance. The domain WHOIS data is consistent and trustworthy, with no privacy protection masking registrant details. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing security headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies including contact channels like security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Include clear and verified contact information on the website to improve business credibility and user support.
  5. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Ember.js framework, indicating a modern single-page application architecture. Hosting is supported by AWS DNS infrastructure, suggesting reliable and scalable backend services. The site includes a CDN for static assets, improving load times globally. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. However, no CMS was detected, implying a custom or proprietary content management approach. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
