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 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

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

SafetyWing operates in the insurance sector with a focus on remote workers and companies, a niche market with increasing demand due to the rise of remote work globally. Their business model revolves around providing health and travel insurance products that replace or supplement national welfare systems, appealing to a global audience of nomads and remote teams. The company leverages partnerships with marketing and analytics platforms to optimize customer acquisition and engagement. The domain age and registration details align with the company's founding date, indicating a stable and legitimate operation. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies on the website may pose compliance risks, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. The extensive use of third-party tracking and marketing tools suggests a data-driven approach but requires transparent privacy disclosures to maintain trust. The company’s market position appears strong within its niche, supported by a professional website and clear product segmentation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided content. The site uses secure forms and inputs, but no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which are important for handling security incidents and building user trust. The extensive use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels increases the attack surface and privacy risks, necessitating robust security controls and transparent user consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct a privacy impact assessment of third-party tracking tools and limit data collection to necessary purposes.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

SafetyWing's website is built on a modern tech stack including React and Next.js, providing a responsive and performant user experience. The site integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and Drift, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. Hosting is managed via reputable providers with Google Cloud DNS nameservers. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the site lacks some security best practices like security headers and explicit privacy disclosures. Performance is moderate, with some opportunities to optimize loading times and reduce third-party script impact. Technical debt appears low, but ongoing monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and compliance.
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.
