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 directly from their browsers without local setup. The company leverages innovative WebContainers technology to run full Node.js environments securely and efficiently in-browser, positioning itself as a market innovator with a strong reputation among 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 is built on modern frameworks like Astro, uses WebAssembly, and integrates analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Segment Analytics. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring robust performance and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and explicit security policies or incident response contacts are not published. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts. Overall, the site is fast, accessible, and well-optimized for SEO and mobile devices, with high trustworthiness and no adult or questionable content.

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 strong position in the developer tools market by offering a unique SaaS platform that eliminates local environment setup through browser-based development powered by WebContainers. Its business model focuses on providing instant dev environments, integrations, and enterprise solutions. The company targets web developers and frontend/product teams at large and innovative companies, as evidenced by testimonials and client logos including Google, Meta, Shopify, and others. The platform's ecosystem includes Bolt.new for app creation and APIs for integration, supporting growth and developer engagement. The absence of direct contact info on the homepage suggests a focus on self-service and community channels like Discord. The company appears medium-sized, founded in 2013, with no public parent or subsidiaries. Marketing relies on digital channels and community engagement, supported by analytics and tracking tools.

Security posture

StackBlitz demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, domain transfer lock status, and use of Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in scripts. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation is a minor gap in DNS security. The site does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response contacts, which limits transparency for security researchers and customers. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, reducing avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. Cookie consent mechanisms are absent despite use of tracking scripts, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security score is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Consider providing clear contact information for security and general inquiries to improve trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Astro framework with modern JavaScript and WebAssembly technologies, notably WebContainers for in-browser Node.js environments. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Segment Analytics for tracking and marketing insights. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, supporting a high-quality user experience and scalable platform. Minor technical improvements include enabling DNSSEC and adding cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
