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

QuoteMedia is an established company founded in 1999 that specializes in providing real-time market data, financial research, analytics, and integrated trading solutions. The company targets financial professionals, asset managers, brokerages, media companies, and individual investors, positioning itself as an industry leader with a comprehensive suite of financial technology services. Their offerings include APIs, web content solutions, investor relations tools, and managed services, supporting informed decision-making in dynamic markets. Technically, the website leverages modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Tailwind CSS, with hosting infrastructure supported by Cloudflare DNS services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, clear navigation, and a professional design, although some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with proper SEO meta tags and structured content enhancing discoverability. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not explicitly detected. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are areas for improvement. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, QuoteMedia's website reflects a mature and credible business with a strong market presence but could enhance its privacy compliance and security transparency to further build trust and meet regulatory expectations.

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

7 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

QuoteMedia operates in the finance and technology sectors, delivering essential market data and financial solutions. Its business model revolves around providing real-time and historical data feeds, analytics, and integrated trading platforms to a diverse customer base including institutional investors, brokerages, and media outlets. The company's long domain age and consistent WHOIS data support its legitimacy and market stability. The presence of client testimonials and detailed product offerings indicate a customer-centric approach and a well-established partnership ecosystem. The company appears to focus on growth through technology innovation and managed services, catering to evolving market demands. The website's external links to related domains such as research portals, demo environments, and brochures suggest a comprehensive ecosystem supporting client engagement and product education. Social media channels are actively maintained, enhancing brand visibility and customer interaction.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers and updates. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security robustness. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. The site uses modern JavaScript frameworks and content delivery networks, which typically include security best practices. To improve, the company should implement DNSSEC, add security headers, publish a security policy, and provide clear incident response contacts. Additionally, privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms are needed to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and provide clear incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies including Vue.js and Tailwind CSS, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, providing reliable DNS resolution and potential DDoS mitigation. The site includes Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization through proper meta tags and structured content. Accessibility features are present but basic, suggesting room for improvement to meet higher standards. No CMS was explicitly detected, implying a custom or headless architecture. The site uses multiple preloaded scripts and stylesheets, which may impact initial load times but support rich interactive features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from enhanced accessibility 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.
