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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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. 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

RapidAPI's business model centers on an API marketplace generating revenue through subscription plans and transaction fees. The company targets developers, enterprises, and API providers, offering tools for API publishing, management, and consumption. The recent acquisition by Nokia signals strategic growth and integration into telecommunications and network API ecosystems. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its scale, comprehensive API offerings, and developer-centric features. Partnerships with entities like Rakuten and integration with payment processors enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include a mature domain age, extensive documentation, and active community engagement via social media and support channels.

Security posture

The security maturity of RapidAPI is solid, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses modern web technologies with no detected vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of a published security policy or explicit incident response contact reduces transparency. The privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating strong data protection practices. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clear incident response contacts to enhance security posture and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, hosted on AWS with Cloudflare DNS services. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CDN usage for static assets. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility considerations, though some areas could be improved. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The infrastructure is robust, supporting a large-scale API marketplace. Technical risks are minimal but include the absence of DNSSEC and potential reliance on third-party scripts. Opportunities exist to enhance security and compliance documentation and to further optimize accessibility.
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.
