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

4 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 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

  3. 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

POEditor operates in the technology sector as a SaaS provider for localization and translation management. Their competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive platform that supports multiple project types including mobile apps, websites, games, and marketing content. The business model is subscription-based with a focus on automation and collaboration tools. The company shows strong growth indicators with hundreds of thousands of active projects and users. Their ecosystem includes integrations with translation vendors and API documentation, supporting developer adoption. The absence of detailed contact information and compliance documents on the main site suggests an opportunity to improve customer trust and regulatory adherence. POEditor’s market presence is solid, targeting global customers requiring efficient localization workflows.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represent gaps that could be exploited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness for security events. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no visible privacy or cookie policies and no consent mechanisms, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in policy publication, header implementation, and incident readiness to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery and Bootstrap for UI, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and is hosted on AWS infrastructure as inferred from DNS servers. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for modernization. The site’s technical implementation supports a professional and scalable SaaS offering but should prioritize security enhancements to mitigate risks.
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.
