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

Rapidmail is a German-based technology company offering GDPR-compliant newsletter software designed for businesses and marketers primarily in Germany and other supported countries. The platform focuses on easy newsletter creation, sending, and analytics, positioning itself as a reliable and compliant email marketing solution. The website is professionally designed with good content relevance and navigation, supporting multiple localized versions for different countries. Technically, the site uses modern web standards and fonts, hosted on DNS Made Easy infrastructure, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the security posture is limited due to lack of visible security headers and documented security policies. Privacy compliance is weak as no explicit privacy or cookie policies were found. Business credibility is moderate with consistent branding but missing explicit contact and compliance information. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content detected.

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

8 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

Rapidmail operates in the technology sector, specifically in SaaS email marketing solutions. Its business model revolves around providing newsletter tools that comply with GDPR, targeting businesses needing compliant email marketing in Europe and beyond. The company maintains multiple localized domains indicating a broad market presence. The lack of detailed registrant WHOIS data slightly reduces transparency but the domain and branding are consistent. The company emphasizes ease of use and compliance as competitive advantages. No direct revenue or partnership data was found, but the multi-country approach suggests a growth-oriented strategy. The absence of visible certifications or trust seals indicates potential areas for trust enhancement.

Security posture

The website currently lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness perception. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs) but SSL configuration details are unknown. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. Forms and data collection mechanisms are not clearly detailed, and no analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces attack surface but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is basic and would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve web security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts and data protection officer details.
  4. Publish terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Integrate analytics and monitoring tools with privacy-respecting configurations to improve performance and user insights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with custom fonts (Roboto and Indie Flower). The hosting is managed via DNS Made Easy, indicating a reliable DNS infrastructure. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. However, no CMS or major frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of advanced optimization or CDN usage. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and semantic markup enhancements. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts suggests minimal data collection but also limits marketing insights.
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.
