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

Tally BV operates the website tally.so, offering a free and intuitive online form builder designed to simplify form creation for individuals and teams. The platform emphasizes unlimited forms and submissions without paywalls, advanced features like conditional logic, e-signatures, payments, and extensive integrations with popular productivity tools. Positioned as a modern alternative to traditional form builders, Tally targets creators, product teams, marketers, HR, and personal users. The company is based in Belgium and founded in 2020, with a medium-sized operational scale. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including React and Next.js, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices. Integration with Stripe for payments and Sentry for error tracking indicates a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well-branded, consistent, and provides a professional user experience. From a security perspective, Tally enforces HTTPS, encrypts data in transit and at rest, complies with GDPR, and uses reCAPTCHA to prevent spam. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and explicit security policies or incident response procedures are not publicly documented. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Privacy policies and terms of service are comprehensive and accessible. Overall, Tally.so presents a trustworthy, professional, and secure platform with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Minor improvements in DNS security and transparency around security policies could further 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

3 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

  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

  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 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

Tally BV has carved a niche in the competitive online form builder market by offering a freemium SaaS model that removes common paywalls on core features, appealing to a broad audience from creators to enterprise teams. Their business model leverages integrations with major platforms like Notion, Google Sheets, Slack, and automation tools such as Zapier and Make, enhancing workflow efficiency for users. The company’s growth is supported by a strong social media presence and positive user testimonials. Revenue streams likely include paid upgrades to Tally Pro and Business plans, offering advanced customization and enterprise features. The company’s Belgium base aligns with its GDPR compliance focus, appealing to privacy-conscious customers. Strategic partnerships with payment processor Stripe and automation platforms strengthen its ecosystem and market position.

Security posture

Tally.so demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, encryption of data both in transit and at rest, and GDPR compliance. The use of reCAPTCHA helps mitigate spam and bot submissions. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and published security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and display a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to increase transparency and user trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party integrations and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by adding verified company phone numbers and physical address if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. Hosting via Cloudflare provides CDN and DNS services, contributing to fast load times and global availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Integration with Stripe for payments and Sentry for error monitoring indicates a robust technical infrastructure. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built solution tailored for performance and flexibility. The site uses multiple JavaScript chunks and preloads fonts and stylesheets for optimized rendering. Overall, the technical implementation is modern, performant, and scalable with minor opportunities for DNS security enhancement.
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.
