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

Rapid is a leading technology company specializing in API marketplace and management solutions. Founded in 2015, it operates the world's largest public API marketplace with over 4 million developers and 40,000 APIs. The company offers a comprehensive platform that supports API design, testing, publishing, monetization, and enterprise governance, trusted by Fortune 500 companies. Their business model focuses on enabling developers and enterprises to build, consume, and monetize APIs efficiently. Technically, Rapid employs a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, hosted and secured via Cloudflare services. The website demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, supported by robust SEO practices. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Segment, and LinkedIn Insight Tag are used with moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, Rapid maintains a strong posture with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC 2. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, though a cookie consent mechanism is absent. Overall, Rapid presents a high level of business credibility and professionalism with clear contact information and trust indicators. The domain registration is consistent with the company's history and claims, reinforcing legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding cookie consent, publishing vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing incident response contact visibility.

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

5 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 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

  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

Rapid holds a dominant market position as the largest API marketplace and management platform, serving a broad audience from individual developers to large enterprises. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive API lifecycle tools and extensive developer community. Revenue streams include API monetization, enterprise platform subscriptions, and partner ecosystem engagement. The company demonstrates strong growth indicators and maintains strategic partnerships with industry leaders. Its operations emphasize innovation, developer experience, and enterprise governance, positioning it well for continued market leadership.

Security posture

Rapid exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and recognized certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2. The company complies with GDPR and provides clear privacy policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a public vulnerability disclosure program represents areas for improvement. Incident response contact information is not publicly detailed, which could impact responsiveness. Overall, Rapid's security practices align well with industry standards, supporting trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels to improve security communication.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js framework, ensuring fast load times and responsive design. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site uses standard analytics and marketing tools integrated via asynchronous scripts. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. No technical debt or outdated libraries were identified. Opportunities exist to enhance DNS security and formalize vulnerability management processes.
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.
