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

StepClaw is a cloud-based AI agent product developed by StepFun, a Chinese AI company specializing in large language models and AI agent technologies. The product leverages the open-source OpenClaw framework and is powered by StepFun's proprietary Step 3.5 Flash large language model. It targets users and businesses seeking automated AI task execution with easy cloud deployment and cross-platform integration. The website presents a professional, well-structured, and modern digital presence with clear product descriptions and a free trial offer. Technically, the site uses modern web standards with responsive design, Cloudflare DNS, and minimal external dependencies. The product infrastructure includes dedicated cloud resources per user instance, emphasizing stability and performance. Analytics are implemented via pageview.app with minimal user tracking. However, the site lacks published privacy, cookie, and security policies, which impacts compliance and trust. From a security perspective, the domain is secured with HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS with clientTransferProhibited status, indicating legitimate domain control. No security headers or incident response information are published, representing areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with standard best practices. The overall risk is low given the professional presentation and legitimate domain registration, but the absence of privacy and security policies and contact information reduces trust and compliance scores. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen the website's credibility and security posture.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

StepFun positions StepClaw as a cloud AI agent service that simplifies AI automation for users without technical expertise. The business model includes free trial seats to attract early adopters and build a user base. The product leverages open-source technology combined with proprietary AI models, creating a competitive advantage in the AI agent market. The target customers include developers, enterprises, and productivity-focused users. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem including GitHub for open-source collaboration and its own corporate website. Growth indicators include a clear launch date and structured marketing content. The lack of direct contact information and published policies suggests a focus on product delivery over direct customer support at this stage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness perception. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected. Compliance with GDPR or other privacy regulations is not evidenced by policy documents or consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response channels.
  4. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish related information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, optimized for mobile and desktop with responsive design. It uses Cloudflare DNS and likely CDN services for hosting and performance. Analytics are implemented via a lightweight third-party script (pageview.app) with minimal tracking. The site has no detected CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. Performance is fast with clean code and no broken elements. However, the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and compliance domains. The site architecture and content are well organized, supporting good SEO and accessibility standards.
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.
