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

PaySpace is a specialized payment service provider focusing on high-risk merchant accounts, serving industries such as online gambling, adult services, crypto merchants, and online dating. Established in 2009 and operating from Latvia, the company offers a comprehensive suite of payment processing solutions including fraud and chargeback prevention, multi-currency support, and customized merchant account services. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience of high-risk merchants. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, ensuring good performance and security. However, some security headers are missing, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are areas for improvement. The site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA for form security. From a security standpoint, the site demonstrates a moderate security posture with good SSL configuration and domain protection but lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR considerations. The business credibility is strong, supported by consistent WHOIS data and trust indicators such as PCI DSS compliance mentions. Overall, PaySpace presents a trustworthy and professional platform for high-risk payment processing, with recommendations to enhance DNS security and HTTP headers to further strengthen its security posture.

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

3 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 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. 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

PaySpace occupies a niche market in high-risk payment processing, targeting industries often underserved by traditional payment providers due to elevated fraud and chargeback risks. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized knowledge, extensive acquiring network, and tailored solutions for complex industries like adult entertainment, gambling, and crypto. The business model is B2B, focusing on merchant account provisioning and payment gateway services. The company’s growth is supported by a decade-plus presence, a global client base, and integration with multiple payment methods. Partnerships with PCI DSS compliant banks and use of modern payment orchestration technologies position PaySpace well in a competitive landscape. The company’s marketing and analytics ecosystem indicates a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website’s security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options reduce the overall security effectiveness. The use of reCAPTCHA and secure forms is positive, but no published security or incident response policies limit transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but not fully detailed. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Add security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy to improve browser security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, utilizing a modern tech stack including jQuery, OwlCarousel, intlTelInput, and multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Quora Pixel, Yandex Metrika, and HubSpot. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, contributing to moderate performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of caching/CDN. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but can benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
