0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Scale AI is an established enterprise technology company specializing in providing high-quality training data for AI applications such as autonomous vehicles, mapping, AR/VR, and robotics. The company targets AI developers and enterprises requiring data labeling and model evaluation services. The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted likely on Vercel, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools. However, the current website content is inaccessible due to a client-side application error, limiting the ability to fully assess the user experience and content quality. Security posture appears limited from available data, with no visible security headers or policies, and no privacy or cookie policies detected. The domain registration data indicates a mature and legitimate business with consistent WHOIS information and no privacy protection. Overall, the website requires urgent remediation to restore content accessibility and improve transparency around privacy and security policies.

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

7 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Scale AI operates in the technology sector, focusing on AI data services. It holds a strong market position as a trusted provider for world-class companies. The business model centers on B2B SaaS and data labeling services, supporting AI development workflows. The company was founded in 1997, indicating long-term market presence. The website's marketing and analytics stack is comprehensive, suggesting a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of accessible content and policy disclosures may impact customer trust and compliance. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified from the data.

Security posture

The security maturity level is difficult to assess fully due to inaccessible website content. No security headers or incident response contacts are visible. The domain uses Cloudflare DNS but does not have DNSSEC enabled. SSL configuration details are not provided. The presence of multiple third-party tracking scripts indicates extensive user data collection, but no privacy or cookie consent mechanisms are detected, raising compliance concerns. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are found. The WHOIS data is consistent and legitimate, which supports domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in transparency, policy publication, and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Fix the client-side application error to restore full website content accessibility.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement and publish security policies including incident response contacts.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and review SSL/TLS configuration for best practices.
  5. Add vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework with Plasmic CMS integration, hosted likely on Vercel. It employs multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Segment, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, FullStory, and Amplitude, indicating a sophisticated tracking infrastructure. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, but DNSSEC is not enabled. The website currently suffers from a client-side JavaScript error causing content inaccessibility, which severely impacts user experience and SEO. No security headers or privacy mechanisms are detected in the accessible content. Performance is moderate but cannot be fully assessed due to the error. Mobile optimization and accessibility cannot be determined from the data.
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.
