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

6 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 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

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

Octoparse operates in the technology and e-commerce sectors, providing SaaS solutions for web data extraction. Their competitive advantage lies in no-code usability combined with AI assistance and cloud-based automation. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and custom data services. The target customers range from small businesses to enterprises needing data for analytics, marketing, and research. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with multiple service subdomains and a strong content marketing strategy. Growth indicators include active social media presence, frequent content updates, and a broad template gallery catering to diverse industries.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Octoparse is good, with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is evident through detailed privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Data protection practices appear sound, but explicit information about data retention and incident handling is missing. The security culture is implied to be proactive given the use of push notifications and analytics for user engagement and monitoring.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security controls and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data handling.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with Mantine UI components, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. Integration with analytics and marketing tools is well-executed without overloading the site. The use of lazy loading for videos and images optimizes load times. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Hosting details are not explicit but performance and security headers suggest a reputable hosting provider. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for further modernization including enhanced accessibility features and expanded API documentation.
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.
