Security score

83/100

Risk levelLow

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

Paperless Post operates as an online platform specializing in customizable digital invitations, greeting cards, and flyer event pages for a variety of occasions including weddings, birthdays, holidays, and professional events. The website demonstrates a strong market position with a broad design collection and user-friendly customization tools, targeting both consumers and professionals. The platform emphasizes ease of event management with features such as RSVP tracking and messaging. Technically, the site is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with responsive design and multimedia content optimized for performance and mobile devices. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place; however, the absence of explicit security headers and WHOIS data transparency are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks visible privacy policy documentation in the analyzed content. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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. 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"

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Paperless Post's business model centers on providing digital invitation and event management services with a freemium approach, offering both free templates and premium designs. The company leverages partnerships with designers and offers additional design services, positioning itself competitively in the e-commerce and event planning market. The target customer segments include individuals planning personal events and professionals organizing business occasions. The platform's integration of multimedia and customization tools supports user engagement and retention. While the website shows strong branding and content quality, the lack of publicly available WHOIS and contact information may impact trust for some users. The presence of partner domains such as partyshop.paperlesspost.com indicates an ecosystem approach to event-related products and services.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The lack of explicit contact channels for incident response or security concerns is a gap in the security framework. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide clear contact information for incident response and vulnerability reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance advertising transparency by disclosing tracking and marketing tools in privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering and client-side hydration. It uses advanced CSS media queries for responsive design and incorporates video content for rich user experience. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site loads efficiently with preloading and prefetching of critical assets. Accessibility features such as skip links and semantic HTML are present, contributing to good usability. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly website, though improvements in security headers and privacy documentation are recommended.
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.
