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

Startup People is a Swedish-based membership community platform designed to support startup founders and operators by providing access to networking, resources, events, and exclusive perks. The platform has evolved from a physical coworking space to a digital ecosystem with a strong international presence. It offers tiered membership plans including free and premium access, targeting early-stage startups and professionals. The platform is well-positioned in the startup ecosystem with partnerships from notable organizations such as Scania and Stockholm's Stad, and positive social proof from multiple review platforms. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks like Next.js and React, hosted likely on Vercel, and integrates third-party services such as Stripe for payments and Hotjar for analytics. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and secure payment integration, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is addressed with cookie consent and privacy policies, but lacks detailed GDPR statements and incident response contacts. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and technically sound, with room for enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

The business operates as a technology-focused community platform serving startup founders primarily in Sweden but with an international reach. Its business model is membership-based, offering free and paid tiers with value-added services such as fundraising support, knowledge bases, and exclusive events. The company leverages partnerships with established corporations and local government programs to enhance its ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include premium subscriptions and partnership deals. The target customer segment is early-stage startups and startup professionals seeking networking and growth resources. The platform's transition from coworking to digital services indicates strategic adaptation to market trends. The presence of multiple social media channels and positive user reviews supports strong brand credibility and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure payment processing via Stripe, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Security headers are minimal, with only Cache-Control detected, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts like Hotjar is present, which requires careful privacy management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data retention practices.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. Hosting appears to be on Vercel, which supports fast global delivery. Integration with Stripe provides secure payment capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of third-party analytics (Hotjar) and cookie consent management (SecurePrivacy) indicates attention to user experience and compliance. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. The technical implementation is robust, with opportunities to improve security headers and formalize compliance documentation.
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.
