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

QuoteMedia is a well-established company founded in 1999, specializing in providing real-time market data and financial research solutions. The company targets financial professionals, investors, and enterprises requiring comprehensive market data and analytics. Their business model focuses on delivering B2B SaaS solutions including APIs, web widgets, and integrated trading data tools. The website reflects a strong market position with a consistent brand and professional content tailored to the finance industry. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Nuxt.js, styled with Tailwind CSS, and leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security posture. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and technically sound but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit security documentation to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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, offering essential market data and financial solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 1999, comprehensive product suite including real-time data APIs, investor relations tools, and managed services. The company targets financial institutions, asset managers, brokerages, and individual investors. Revenue streams likely include subscription-based data services and API access fees. The partnership ecosystem includes social media channels and demo/brochure sites, supporting customer engagement and marketing. Strategic observations highlight a focus on transparency, client engagement, and technology-driven solutions to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer lock indicates baseline security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response contacts reveals gaps in defense-in-depth and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR or other privacy regulations is not evident, posing potential regulatory risks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented. Enhancing security documentation, implementing DNSSEC, and publishing vulnerability disclosure policies would strengthen the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement and disclose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Add explicit incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js and Nuxt.js frameworks, styled with Tailwind CSS. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google Fonts for typography. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, which provides performance and security benefits. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing resource loading and caching strategies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
