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

SVG Repo LLC operates a comprehensive online platform offering over 500,000 free, open-licensed SVG vectors and icons. The website targets designers, developers, and businesses seeking high-quality vector graphics for commercial use. It emphasizes community contributions and provides tools for searching, editing, and remixing SVG assets without requiring design software. The platform holds a strong market position as a large, free SVG repository with a user-friendly interface and modern web technologies. Technically, the website is built using React and Next.js frameworks, ensuring fast performance, mobile optimization, and good SEO practices. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking and marketing insights. The site employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration, though security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. From a security perspective, the site maintains a good posture with encrypted connections and no visible security flaws. However, it lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and published security policies or incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification, though the website content and branding appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, SVG Repo presents a low-risk profile with strong content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency would enhance trust 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

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 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 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

SVG Repo's business model revolves around providing free, open-license SVG vectors and icons to a broad audience of designers and developers. Its competitive advantage lies in the vast collection size, community-powered content, and integrated editing tools. Revenue streams likely include advertising and possibly premium API services, though no premium content is shown on the site. The platform's presence on Product Hunt and social media channels supports growth and community engagement. The company operates as a small entity in the technology sector, focusing on digital asset distribution and developer tools. Partnerships with related vector and font services enhance its ecosystem. The lack of explicit company contact emails or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital-first operation with contact via web forms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of modern frameworks reduces risks from outdated libraries. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth and privacy compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency, a factor in trustworthiness. Overall, the site is secure for users but would benefit from enhanced security policies and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, improving user trust and legal compliance.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve legitimacy and trust signals for users and partners.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React and Next.js tech stack, enabling server-side rendering and fast client-side interactions. Preloading of fonts and scripts optimizes performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Analytics integration is standard with Google Analytics and Tag Manager. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, performant, and well-suited for the site's purpose, with minor opportunities for security enhancements.
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.
