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

OpenPanel is an open-source web and product analytics platform positioned as an affordable and privacy-focused alternative to Mixpanel, Plausible, and Google Analytics. It targets developers, product managers, and companies seeking transparent and GDPR-compliant analytics solutions. The platform offers both cloud-hosted and self-hosted options, emphasizing user data control and minimal tracking. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation, modern technology stack, and comprehensive FAQ content, supporting a positive user experience and trustworthiness. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are not found on the main page, and no direct contact information is provided, which could be improved for better compliance and user trust. The platform supports real-time analytics, multiple visualization types, and integration with popular frameworks like React and Next.js.

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 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

OpenPanel operates in the technology sector, focusing on analytics software with a business model combining open-source software and cloud services. It competes by offering better web analytics, lower cost, and self-hosting capabilities compared to competitors like Mixpanel and Plausible. The company leverages community support via GitHub and Discord and has a growing user base with over 2000 projects. Testimonials and transparent pricing reinforce its market position. The absence of direct contact details and formal policies suggests a small or early-stage company. The platform's emphasis on privacy and GDPR compliance aligns with current market demands for data protection and user control.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and claims GDPR compliance with no use of cookies for tracking, indicating a strong privacy stance. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency in security practices. Support channels are limited to GitHub and Discord, which may not suffice for formal incident handling. Overall, the security posture is moderate, with room for improvement in formalizing policies, enhancing header configurations, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide a formal security policy and incident response contact information, including dedicated security email addresses.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Add clear company contact information including email and phone to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with a clean and responsive design optimized for mobile devices. It uses JSON-LD structured data for SEO and FAQ content, enhancing search engine visibility. The platform supports integration via JavaScript snippets and SDKs for popular frameworks. Performance appears fast with asynchronous script loading and optimized assets. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly identified. The technical implementation is solid, but the absence of security headers and formal policies represents technical debt and potential risk areas. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and transparency to align with best practices.
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.
