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

Paperform is a technology company offering a flexible online form builder platform that emphasizes thoughtful design and digital intelligence. Founded in 2016 and registered in France, it serves businesses and individuals seeking customizable form and workflow solutions. The website is built on modern technologies such as React and Gatsby, hosted on AWS infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC and security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Contact and incident response information are not readily available, which may impact user trust. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in the SaaS market, but should enhance privacy and security transparency.

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. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

Paperform operates in the competitive SaaS market for online form building, targeting businesses needing smart, design-focused digital forms. Its business model is subscription-based SaaS, leveraging modern web technologies for scalability and user experience. The company maintains a consistent brand and has a presence on Twitter, indicating active engagement. The domain age and registration details support legitimacy. Lack of visible certifications or compliance badges suggests room for growth in trust signals. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The company appears focused on growth through product quality and user experience.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited domain status, indicating good baseline security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency and readiness perception. The security score is moderate to good, but improvements in DNS security and header implementation are advised to strengthen defenses and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support emails and incident response contacts for security issues.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to improve transparency and security culture.

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Gatsby) for static site generation, resulting in fast load times and good SEO. Hosting is on AWS, indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good design consistency. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is fast with well-structured meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which are relatively easy to remediate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and robust, supporting a scalable SaaS business.
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.
