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 developer tools and error monitoring. Their business model is SaaS-based, targeting software teams across various roles including engineering management, QA, platform operations, and customer support. The company leverages integrations with multiple programming languages and platforms, enhancing its ecosystem and appeal. Customer testimonials and structured data reviews indicate strong user satisfaction and trust. The company maintains active social media channels and a content-rich website with documentation, blogs, and educational resources, supporting customer engagement and retention. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools reflects a data-driven approach to growth and user acquisition.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates Rollbar's own JavaScript SDK for client-side error monitoring, indicating a proactive approach to security. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No direct incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could impact responsiveness to security issues. The domain uses Cloudflare DNS, improving resilience and performance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers, published security policies, and a security.txt file.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance privacy disclosures by detailing data retention policies and user data handling practices to further improve GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, jQuery, and various analytics and marketing tools such as HubSpot, Mixpanel, Google Analytics, and OneTrust for cookie management. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with excellent SEO implementation including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The presence of a chat widget and session replay features indicates advanced user engagement capabilities. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved security headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.
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.
