Risk levelLow

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

Sendcloud is a leading European shipping automation platform focused on ecommerce businesses. The company offers software that automates shipping processes and connects merchants to over 160 carriers, enhancing delivery experiences. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern technologies such as WordPress, Yoast SEO, and HubSpot forms. It demonstrates a mature digital presence with structured data and social media integration. Security posture is good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional web presence. Privacy compliance is basic, with room for improvement in policy transparency and contact information. Overall, Sendcloud presents a credible and technically sound ecommerce shipping solution platform.

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

4 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 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. 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
    • 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

Sendcloud positions itself as Europe's number one shipping automation platform for ecommerce businesses, targeting online merchants seeking to streamline their shipping operations. The business model revolves around SaaS software that integrates multiple carriers to optimize delivery workflows. The company likely generates revenue through subscription plans or usage fees. The website content and social media presence indicate a large, established company with a focus on technology and logistics sectors. The platform's extensive carrier integrations and automation capabilities provide competitive advantages. Growth indicators include active marketing, partnerships, and a comprehensive service offering. Strategic observations suggest Sendcloud is focused on expanding its market share in ecommerce logistics by leveraging technology and integrations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented via Cookiebot, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency for security researchers. No contact information for incident response or data protection officers is available, which is a gap in security governance. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts, which may increase the attack surface and require careful management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officers to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Review and audit third-party scripts to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Notes

The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some deferred scripts and optimized font loading.

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.
