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

Tally BV operates a modern, privacy-focused online form builder platform that enables users to create unlimited forms with advanced features such as conditional logic, e-signatures, and payment collection via Stripe. The company targets a broad audience including creators, product teams, marketers, HR, and personal users, positioning itself as a free and intuitive alternative to established form builders. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates with numerous popular tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, which undermines secure HTTPS connections and could impact user trust and data protection. The company demonstrates strong GDPR compliance and transparent domain registration, enhancing its credibility. Strategic improvements in SSL/TLS configuration and security headers are recommended to elevate the security posture and overall trustworthiness.

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

5 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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's business model is a freemium SaaS offering with a strong emphasis on unlimited free usage and privacy compliance, differentiating it from competitors that impose paywalls. The company leverages partnerships with Stripe for payments and integrates with productivity and automation platforms like Notion, Zapier, and Slack, broadening its ecosystem. The domain age and registration details align well with the company's founding date, supporting legitimacy. The absence of physical addresses or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital-first operation. Customer testimonials and active community engagement on social media further reinforce market presence and user trust.

Security posture

The current security posture reveals significant weaknesses, notably the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are critical for secure communications. While SPF and DMARC records are properly configured, and no subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were found, the absence of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and modern TLS support exposes the platform to potential risks. No explicit security or incident response policies are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file was detected. These gaps suggest room for improvement in formalizing security governance and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user data in transit.
  2. Enable and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking and connection performance.
  4. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable deprecated versions to ensure secure communications.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  7. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the web application.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, and integrates with Stripe for payments and various productivity tools. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5.7 seconds and a moderate number of resources. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the invalid SSL configuration is a critical technical debt that must be addressed immediately. The DNS and email configurations are well-managed, with valid SPF and DMARC policies enhancing email security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but requires urgent security enhancements to align with best practices.
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.
