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

Stadia Maps, Inc. is a technology company specializing in providing location APIs including maps, geocoding, routing, and navigation services. Founded in 2016, the company targets developers and businesses requiring reliable and privacy-conscious location data solutions. Their market position is that of a niche provider offering transparent billing and strong privacy guarantees as an alternative to larger mapping providers. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates MapLibre GL JS for mapping. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and well-structured with good SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism despite using Matomo analytics. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with clear business contact via email and active social media presence.

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"

    • 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

  3. 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

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

Stadia Maps operates a SaaS API platform business model focused on location services. Their revenue likely derives from API usage fees with transparent pricing. The company serves a broad range of industries including logistics, real estate, travel, and AI, emphasizing privacy and reliability. Partnerships such as with Stamen Design enhance their offerings. The company maintains a small but professional digital footprint with active engagement on social media and developer communities. Their competitive advantage lies in privacy assurance, no-surprise billing, and human support. Growth indicators include recent SDK releases and customer testimonials. The business ecosystem includes integrations with Stripe for payments and Matomo for analytics.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, which limits transparency for security researchers. No incident response contacts or security frameworks are referenced publicly. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism despite using tracking analytics, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security policies, incident response information, and cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and privacy compliance 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.
