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 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
    • 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

  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

Rollbar operates in the technology sector with a focus on software error monitoring and debugging. Its business model is SaaS-based, serving a diverse range of software teams including developers, QA, and customer support. The company leverages AI and machine learning to reduce alert noise and automate error response, providing competitive advantages in real-time error management. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans as indicated by pricing pages. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with integrations and platform support across multiple programming languages and frameworks. Growth indicators include active content updates, customer testimonials, and a visible roadmap. Strategic observations highlight Rollbar's emphasis on developer experience, automation, and integration capabilities as key market differentiators.

Security posture

Rollbar exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and domain transfer protections in place. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a published security.txt file suggests areas for improvement in DNS security and vulnerability disclosure transparency. No explicit incident response contacts or security certifications were found, which could enhance trust and readiness. The use of modern analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good, with recommendations to strengthen DNS security and formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the rollbar.com domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root of the domain to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses, to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain a secure technology stack.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing a modern tech stack including JavaScript, jQuery, and various third-party services such as HubSpot, Mixpanel, and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with Yoast SEO plugin, structured data (JSON-LD), and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence, with opportunities to improve 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.
