Papaya Ltd operates as a licensed Electronic Money Institution based in Malta, providing advanced fintech solutions including digital banking, payment cards, and PSD2 compliant APIs.

The website demonstrates a professional design and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience and trustworthiness. Technically, the site is built on Angular 9 with modern web standards, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization.

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.

Priority findings

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Papaya Ltd is positioned in the fintech sector, focusing on banking software development and digital financial services. Its business model revolves around providing white-label and co-branded banking solutions, targeting corporate clients and financial institutions. The partnership with blackcatcard.com indicates a collaborative ecosystem for payment processing and legal compliance. The company holds a Malta Financial Services Authority EMI license, reinforcing its legitimacy. The website content highlights key services such as digital banking, payments, KYC automation, and PSD2 APIs, indicating a comprehensive fintech offering. The absence of direct contact details and limited marketing tools suggests a focus on B2B relationships rather than broad consumer marketing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a Content-Security-Policy header enforcing upgrade-insecure-requests, which is a positive security measure. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks several recommended security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security, which could improve defense against common web attacks. Forms and inputs appear secure with no inline scripts or suspicious elements. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency in security management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers and explicit security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Consider creating and hosting a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is developed using Angular 9 framework, leveraging modern CSS and JavaScript technologies. It uses Material Icons and custom fonts loaded via WOFF2 and WOFF formats. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with media queries and flexible grid layouts. Performance is moderate with multiple JavaScript bundles and CSS files loaded asynchronously. No CMS or third-party hosting provider is explicitly detected. The site uses HTTPS with a basic Content-Security-Policy header. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts in the provided HTML content. The technical implementation is solid with opportunities to improve security headers 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.
