Risk levelMedium

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

Splitbee was a technology company providing an all-in-one analytics and conversion tool aimed at website owners and digital marketers. The company was founded in 2020 and has since sunset its service, with the team joining Vercel to continue analytics development. The website serves primarily as a sunset notice and redirection to Vercel Analytics. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, and uses Cloudflare DNS. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting user trust and compliance transparency.

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. 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

  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 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention splitbee.io, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Splitbee operated in the SaaS analytics market targeting developers and marketers seeking product analytics, funnel tracking, and conversion optimization. The business model was subscription-based SaaS. The company positioned itself as a friendly, all-in-one analytics tool but has ceased operations and merged with Vercel, a larger platform. This transition suggests strategic consolidation in the analytics space. The company is small, US-based, and operated under Private by Design, LLC. The partnership with Vercel enhances its market reach and technology integration. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, though lacking in detailed business and compliance disclosures.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status flags to prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions, indicating good baseline security hygiene. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. No explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the HTML content. There is no published security policy, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response information, which are important for transparency and trust. No forms or input fields reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced DNS security, security headers, and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels including security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, which provides fast performance and good scalability. The use of Cloudflare DNS adds reliability but DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a missed security opportunity. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags and JSON-LD structured data. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. The site uses asynchronous JavaScript loading and prefetching for performance. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and performant but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
