Security best practices such as HTTPS enforcement and security headers are implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed.

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

2 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 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 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

Paddle operates in the technology and e-commerce sectors, focusing on SaaS revenue management. Their business model is B2B SaaS, offering a platform that consolidates multiple revenue-related functions. The company targets SaaS vendors seeking to streamline payments, subscriptions, and compliance globally. Paddle's market position is strong, supported by partnerships and a broad customer base. Revenue streams likely include transaction fees, subscription fees, and value-added services. The company demonstrates growth through strategic partnerships and fee waiver programs with entities like Enterprise Ireland and Connect Ventures. Paddle's operations reflect a scalable, enterprise-grade platform with a focus on compliance and ease of use.

Security posture

Paddle exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain registration trust slightly. Overall, Paddle maintains a secure environment suitable for handling sensitive payment and subscription data but would benefit from enhanced public security documentation and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to comply with GDPR and improve communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Notes

The website leverages a modern tech stack with React and Next.js frameworks, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile optimization. HubSpot CMS integration supports marketing automation and contact management. The site uses web fonts and optimized images for performance. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing experience. Accessibility features are present, and SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but likely cloud-based. Technical debt appears low, with opportunities to enhance security transparency and domain registration clarity.
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.
