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

Noembed.com is a specialized technology service providing a unified oEmbed proxy API that simplifies embedding content from a wide range of supported sites, including those without native oEmbed support. The service targets developers and web integrators who require consistent embeddable content responses. The business operates as a small entity with open source code hosted on GitHub and is supported by a community of users and contributors. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content relevance, though it lacks formal privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, and is hosted on the Fastly CDN platform, ensuring good performance and reliability. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, but no advanced frameworks or CMS are detected. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but adequate for the target audience. From a security perspective, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, registered with Gandi SAS since 2011, with clientTransferProhibited status enabled. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and the website lacks security headers and formal security policies. No forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with no critical vulnerabilities detected but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

Noembed operates in the technology sector as a niche service provider offering a unified oEmbed API proxy. Its competitive advantage lies in supporting a broad range of content providers, including those without native oEmbed support, and guaranteeing consistent response fields. The business model appears to be community-driven and open source, with no direct monetization visible on the site. Target customers are developers and integrators requiring embeddable content solutions. The company has established partnerships or usage by notable projects such as Ars Technica and Reddit Enhancement Suite, indicating a positive ecosystem presence. Growth indicators include active GitHub repository and ongoing community contributions. The lack of formal business information and contact details limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The security posture of noembed.com is moderate. The domain is registered with a reputable registrar and has transfer protections enabled, but DNSSEC is not implemented, which is a recommended security enhancement. The website lacks security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No forms or user input fields reduce exposure to injection attacks. Google Analytics is used for tracking without visible cookie consent, which may pose privacy compliance risks under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from adopting standard web security best practices and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance considerations.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Review and enhance cookie consent mechanisms to align with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) and hosted on Fastly CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and good performance. The site uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good user experience and navigation clarity. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but sufficient for the target developer audience. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. There are no forms or complex interactive elements, reducing technical complexity and attack surface. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be modernized with enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
