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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Stape operates in the technology sector with a focus on marketing analytics and data tracking. Their competitive advantage lies in simplifying complex server-side tracking setups with easy-to-use hosting and API gateway solutions. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans, enterprise custom solutions, and add-on power-ups. The target customers are digital marketers, agencies, and enterprises requiring accurate and compliant data collection. Growth indicators include a large customer base, active content marketing, and multiple certifications. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major platforms like Meta and TikTok, and use of Calendly for sales engagement. Strategic observations highlight Stape's emphasis on security, compliance, and customer support as key differentiators in a competitive market.

Security posture

Stape exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong security headers, and isolated server containers managed via Google Kubernetes Engine. Certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance indicate robust controls and data protection practices. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and anonymizer power-ups further demonstrate commitment to privacy. However, the absence of a published security.txt and explicit incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security culture appears strong, supporting business continuity and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling practices.

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.
