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

Shopee is a leading e-commerce platform primarily serving Singapore and Southeast Asia, operating as an online marketplace connecting buyers and sellers. Founded in 2014 and owned by Sea Group, it offers a wide range of products and services including flash sales, digital payments, and logistics support. The platform targets general consumers seeking convenient online shopping experiences. Technically, Shopee employs a modern web stack with JavaScript ES6+, Webpack, and uses AWS DNS infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and Sentry for analytics and error tracking, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and uses domain transfer protections, but lacks visible DNSSEC and explicit security headers in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are not explicitly found in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. Overall, Shopee demonstrates a strong market position and technical maturity but should improve transparency on privacy and security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

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

6 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"

  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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Shopee holds a dominant position in the Southeast Asian e-commerce market, leveraging a marketplace business model that facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers. Its revenue streams likely include commissions, advertising, and value-added services such as logistics and digital payments. The platform targets a broad consumer base across multiple countries, with a focus on Singapore in this instance. Shopee's partnership ecosystem includes AWS for hosting and Google for analytics. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent branding across its digital assets. Growth indicators include frequent platform updates and feature rollouts. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in technology and user experience to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security in the HTML content are areas for improvement. No explicit incident response or security policies are publicly visible, which may impact transparency and user trust. The use of anti-crawler SDKs and security refresh intervals indicates proactive measures against automated threats. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms visible to users.
  3. Implement and expose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide explicit incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and SDKs to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Shopee's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing JavaScript ES6+, Webpack bundling, and module preloading for optimized performance. The site is hosted on AWS infrastructure, as indicated by DNS nameservers, ensuring scalability and reliability. The use of Google Tag Manager and Sentry reflects advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities. Mobile optimization is good, with polyfills and lazy loading techniques employed for compatibility and performance. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags included but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected in the provided content. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom-built platform.
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.
