Rollbar is a technology company specializing in real-time error tracking and debugging tools for software development teams. Established in 2004, it offers a SaaS platform that helps developers discover, prioritize, and resolve errors efficiently across multiple programming languages and platforms. The company targets software developers, engineering managers, QA teams, and customer support professionals, positioning itself as a trusted solution in the error monitoring market with AI-assisted workflows and session replay features. Technically, Rollbar's website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript, jQuery, and various analytics and marketing tools such as Mixpanel, Google Analytics, HubSpot, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility are well implemented, with comprehensive metadata and structured data enhancing search visibility. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses client-side error monitoring via the Rollbar SDK, and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. While explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML, the overall posture is strong with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities detected. The domain registration is consistent and long-standing, supporting the company's legitimacy. However, enabling DNSSEC and publishing a security.txt file would further enhance security transparency. Overall, Rollbar's website reflects a mature, professional, and secure online presence aligned with its business goals. The site provides clear business information, trust signals, and complies with privacy regulations, making it a reliable resource for its target audience.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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"

      • 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';…

  3. 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

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 competitive error monitoring and debugging SaaS market, serving a broad range of software development professionals. Its competitive advantages include real-time error discovery, AI-driven error grouping to reduce noise, and session replay capabilities that provide visual context for errors. The business model is subscription-based SaaS, targeting medium to large development teams and enterprises. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with integrations across multiple platforms and languages. Growth indicators include active content marketing, developer resources, and a visible roadmap. The company emphasizes customer trust through testimonials and compliance with security standards, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative player in the developer tools space.

Security posture

Rollbar demonstrates a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of a reputable CDN and DNS provider (Cloudflare), and integration of its own error monitoring SDK to track client-side issues. The presence of GDPR-compliant cookie consent and a dedicated security page indicates awareness of compliance requirements. However, the absence of a published security.txt file and explicit incident response contact details suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident handling readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. The domain registration data supports legitimacy and reduces risk of impersonation or fraud. Overall, Rollbar's security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced disclosure and DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@rollbar.com) on the security or compliance pages.
  4. Review and ensure all recommended security headers are configured and visible in HTTP responses.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and update privacy policies regularly to reflect evolving regulations.

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.
