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

StackBlitz, Inc. operates a leading browser-based integrated development environment (IDE) platform that enables web developers to create and launch applications instantly without local setup. The company leverages innovative WebContainers technology to run full development environments securely within the browser, positioning itself as a market innovator with adoption by major technology companies. The website reflects a mature, professional business with clear branding and comprehensive service offerings targeting frontend and product teams. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like Astro and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, delivering fast and mobile-optimized user experiences. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though improvements are recommended in DNSSEC, security headers, and published 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

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

    • 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

StackBlitz holds a competitive advantage through its proprietary WebContainers technology, enabling faster and more secure browser-based development environments compared to legacy cloud IDEs. Its business model centers on SaaS offerings including enterprise solutions, integrations, and APIs, targeting web developers and product teams at large enterprises and innovative companies. The company demonstrates strong market presence with endorsements from industry leaders and partnerships with major tech firms. Revenue streams likely include enterprise licensing, API usage, and premium services. The ecosystem includes related domains like bolt.new and webcontainers.io, indicating a growing product suite. Strategic observations highlight the company's focus on developer productivity and cloud-native innovation, with potential growth in enterprise adoption and platform integrations.

Security posture

StackBlitz exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, domain transfer lock, and use of reputable DNS providers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS represents areas for enhancement. The lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and readiness perception. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing despite use of tracking technologies, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security policies, enhancing DNS security, and implementing privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident readiness.
  3. Add explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to harden the web application against common attacks.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy controls.
  5. Publish incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Astro framework (v4.5.13) and leverages advanced WebContainers technology based on WebAssembly to deliver fast, secure, and fully browser-contained development environments. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is fast with mobile optimization and accessibility considered. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve 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.
