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. 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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 operates in the technology and ecommerce sectors, providing SaaS subscription management solutions to a large and diverse customer base. Its business model focuses on recurring revenue streams by enabling merchants to offer subscription services. The company benefits from a strong market position as a leading platform with extensive integrations and partnerships, including marketing and affiliate programs. The target customers are ecommerce businesses seeking to enhance customer retention and revenue through subscriptions. The website's content and structure support a professional brand image and facilitate lead generation via contact forms and marketing campaigns. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel, likely to streamline customer engagement and support. Recharge's digital ecosystem is supported by multiple analytics and advertising platforms, enabling data-driven marketing and customer insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS, client-side URL parameter sanitization, and a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security policies or incident response contacts indicates areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed HTML content. The use of reputable third-party services and hosting providers further strengthens security. The lack of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file may limit transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy to mitigate XSS and other attacks.
  5. Consider providing direct security contact channels (e.g., security@recharge.com) for incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including React-based chunked JavaScript files, HubSpot integration, and multiple marketing and analytics tools. Performance is optimized with WP Rocket caching and preconnect hints to external domains. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting is managed via Google Cloud DNS services. The technical implementation reflects a mature and well-maintained infrastructure with good performance and security hygiene. Opportunities exist to further modernize security headers and DNS configurations.
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.
