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

PDFMake.com is a specialized online platform offering a suite of PDF editing tools including watermarking, encryption, decryption, and optimization. The service targets users and businesses needing straightforward PDF manipulation capabilities, supported by an API for scalable integration. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, hosted on AWS infrastructure with HTTPS enabled. However, it lacks published privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and domain transfer protection but missing key security headers and incident response disclosures. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager, indicating moderate user tracking without clear privacy compliance disclosures. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business claims.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

The company Actual Reports OÜ operates PDFMake.com as a small technology business focused on PDF editing SaaS tools. Its market position is niche with a clear value proposition for PDF manipulation and API integration. The business model relies on online tools and API services, targeting developers and end-users needing PDF processing. The partnership with PDFGeneratorAPI.com suggests an ecosystem approach to PDF solutions. The absence of contact details and compliance policies may limit trust and growth potential. The domain age and registration data support a stable, established operation since 2011.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and lack of explicit consent mechanisms indicate compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure processes are not publicly documented, which could hinder timely security issue management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts for incident response.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript and CSS with Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is on AWS as indicated by DNS nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate with no visible broken elements. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks were detected. The lack of security headers and DNSSEC represents technical debt and potential risk. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and more robust privacy and security implementations.
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.
