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

Status.io, operated by T3CH.com LLC, is a mature SaaS provider specializing in hosted system status pages for applications, web services, and developer APIs. Founded in 2011 and based in the US, the company offers a customizable platform with incident tracking, subscriber notifications, and extensive integrations, positioning itself as a transparent and developer-friendly market player. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics, hosted on AWS infrastructure. The platform demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and client transfer protection on the domain, although DNSSEC is not enabled. Security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the site lacks explicit security policy documentation and vulnerability disclosure channels, which could enhance trust further. Overall, Status.io presents a low-risk profile with a solid technical foundation and business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to strengthen security transparency and compliance.

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. 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

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

Status.io operates in the technology sector, targeting businesses and developers requiring reliable and customizable status pages. Its SaaS business model generates revenue through subscription plans, offering features like incident management, notifications, and API access. The company maintains a strong market position by emphasizing transparency, multi-tenant support, and integrations with popular monitoring and communication tools. The website's testimonials and infrastructure transparency serve as trust signals. Growth potential is supported by continuous feature development and customer-driven enhancements. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation focused on its niche.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The domain status clientTransferProhibited prevents unauthorized transfers, enhancing domain security. No DNSSEC is enabled, representing a minor gap. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. The site uses third-party analytics and tracking scripts responsibly with cookie consent. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosure mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities

The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, with opportunities to adopt DNSSEC and improve accessibility compliance. No CMS was detected, indicating a bespoke solution tailored to the service's needs.
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.
