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

OpenCut is a technology company specializing in AI-powered image and video editing tools. The website offers a broad range of services including background removal, image upscaling, object removal, prompt generation, and avatar creation, positioning itself as a comprehensive platform for AI image model applications. The business model appears to be freemium with paid upgrades, supported by promotional discounts and a pricing page. The target audience is general users interested in AI-enhanced media editing. Technically, the site is built on a modern stack using Next.js and React, hosted on Cloudflare, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, though DNSSEC is not enabled and explicit security policies are absent.

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

5 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 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';…
  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

OpenCut operates in the competitive AI technology sector, focusing on image and video editing tools powered by advanced AI models like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E. Its extensive suite of tools caters to a wide range of creative and professional users, enhancing its market position. The company leverages partnerships and is featured on multiple AI tool directories, indicating a strong ecosystem presence. Revenue likely derives from premium subscriptions or pay-per-use models. The absence of physical contact details suggests a primarily digital-first operation. Growth indicators include frequent updates and new tool introductions. Strategic partnerships with AI directories and marketing platforms enhance visibility and user acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection in place. Hosting on Cloudflare provides additional security layers such as DDoS protection and standard security headers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose compliance risks. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, limiting transparency. Overall, security practices are solid but could be improved with explicit policies and enhanced DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Consider adding phone and physical contact information to enhance business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks for server-side rendering and client-side interactivity. Hosting on Cloudflare ensures robust CDN and security features. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and performance, with preloading of images and scripts to enhance load times. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or framework-based solution. The technical infrastructure is modern and scalable, with opportunities to improve DNS security and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
