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

Tally BV operates a modern, privacy-conscious online form builder platform accessible globally. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Belgium, Tally offers a freemium SaaS model with a strong emphasis on unlimited free forms and submissions, advanced features like conditional logic, e-signatures, payments, and extensive integrations with popular productivity tools. The company positions itself as a user-friendly and GDPR-compliant alternative to traditional form builders, targeting creators, product teams, marketers, HR, and office users. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, including testimonials and social proof, reinforcing its market credibility. Technically, the platform leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and integrated with Stripe for payments and automation platforms like Zapier, Make, and Pipedream. The site demonstrates good SEO, accessibility, and performance characteristics. Security practices are robust with HTTPS enforced, data encryption in transit and at rest, and hosting within the EU to comply with GDPR. However, there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies, incident response information, and enabling DNSSEC. The security posture is strong with standard security headers and privacy-friendly design, but lacks a dedicated vulnerability disclosure program and cookie consent mechanism. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, showing consistent domain registration and no privacy protection, indicating transparency. Overall, the risk profile is low with no detected vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a formal security policy and incident response page, implementing a cookie consent banner, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to 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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

  3. 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

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 is positioned as a disruptive player in the online form builder market, leveraging a freemium model that removes traditional paywalls on submissions and forms. Its competitive advantage lies in combining ease of use with advanced features such as conditional logic, calculators, e-signatures, and payment collection, appealing to a broad audience from individual creators to enterprise teams. The company has built a strong ecosystem through integrations with major platforms like Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, and automation tools, facilitating seamless workflows. The presence of testimonials and a Product Hunt badge indicates active community engagement and positive market reception. The business model relies on converting free users to Pro plans for advanced features. Growth indicators include half a million teams using the platform and continuous feature updates. Partnerships with Stripe and automation platforms strengthen its operational capabilities and market reach.

Security posture

Tally demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, encryption of data both in transit and at rest, and hosting within the EU to ensure GDPR compliance. The website employs standard security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam and bots. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response page limits transparency for security researchers and customers. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor DNS security gap. The platform does not use cookie tracking, aligning with privacy best practices, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism which may be required under some jurisdictions. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosure programs.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  5. Establish clear contact channels for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack using React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. Hosting leverages Cloudflare DNS, providing resilience and performance benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with fast loading times and structured content. Integration with Stripe and automation platforms like Zapier, Make, and Pipedream indicates a mature backend ecosystem supporting extensibility. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom-built solution tailored for the product. Technical debt appears low with continuous feature updates and good code modularity. Potential modernization opportunities include adopting DNSSEC and enhancing security documentation. No technical risks impacting business operations were detected.
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.
