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

Recharge.com International B.V. operates a leading global e-commerce platform specializing in digital gift cards, mobile top-ups, and payment cards. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Amsterdam, the company has established itself as the largest online store in its niche, offering over 750 brands and 23 payment methods. The website targets a global audience seeking instant digital delivery of prepaid products, supported by a multilingual and multicurrency platform. The business model focuses on convenience, instant delivery, and a broad product portfolio, supported by strong trust signals such as extensive positive customer reviews and industry awards. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js frameworks, GraphQL for data fetching, and integrates third-party services like Cookiebot for consent management and Trustpilot for customer reviews. The site is optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, providing an excellent user experience. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and secure cookie handling, although explicit security policy and incident response information are not publicly detailed. The security posture is strong with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR compliance indicators and consent mechanisms. Business credibility is high, supported by clear company information, professional content, and multiple trust indicators. However, WHOIS data is not publicly available, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly limits domain registration transparency. Overall, Recharge.com presents a mature, secure, and trustworthy e-commerce platform with strong market positioning and technical sophistication. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, enhancing transparency around data protection officers, and maintaining vigilance on third-party script security to sustain trust and compliance.

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

2 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 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. 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

Recharge.com holds a dominant position in the digital prepaid product market, leveraging a broad product catalog and multiple subsidiaries to serve diverse geographic markets. Its business model is based on instant digital delivery and a user-friendly online shopping experience. Revenue streams likely include direct sales of digital cards and potential affiliate partnerships. The company targets individual consumers globally, emphasizing convenience and trust. Growth indicators include a large volume of positive reviews and recent industry awards. The partnership ecosystem includes several regional subsidiaries, enhancing market reach and localization. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining strong brand consistency and expanding compliance transparency to support continued growth and customer confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure handling of user consent via Cookiebot. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit Data Protection Officer contact information is not found. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident management procedures to users and partners.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and standards.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Disclose Data Protection Officer contact information to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

Recharge.com employs a modern and robust technical infrastructure based on React and Next.js frameworks, enabling server-side rendering and efficient client-side interactivity. The use of GraphQL optimizes data queries, enhancing performance. Integration with Cookiebot ensures compliance with cookie consent regulations. The website is well-optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with comprehensive meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) enhancing search engine visibility. Performance is fast with minimal blocking scripts and efficient asset loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
