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

Tally BV operates a modern SaaS platform providing a free and intuitive online form builder designed for individuals and teams globally. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Belgium, Tally has positioned itself as a competitive alternative to traditional form builders by offering unlimited forms and submissions without paywalls. The platform supports advanced features such as conditional logic, e-signatures, payments, and extensive integrations with popular tools like Notion, Zapier, and Stripe. The website reflects a professional and user-friendly design, emphasizing GDPR compliance and data privacy by hosting data in the EU and encrypting data in transit and at rest. Technically, Tally leverages a modern web stack including React and Next.js, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. The site employs standard security headers and HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. However, there is room for improvement in DNS security (DNSSEC not enabled) and transparency around security policies and incident response. From a security perspective, Tally demonstrates a mature posture with GDPR compliance, encrypted data handling, and spam protection via reCAPTCHA. The absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response page, as well as a cookie consent mechanism despite using tracking pixels, are notable gaps. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business claims, supporting the legitimacy of the domain and company. Overall, Tally presents a trustworthy and technically sound platform with strong market positioning in the online form builder space. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and privacy mechanisms would further strengthen its compliance and user trust.

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.

Business context

Business profile

Tally BV targets a broad market of creators, product teams, marketers, HR, and office users seeking easy-to-use, no-code form building solutions. Its freemium business model with a robust free tier and paid Pro plan supports wide adoption and monetization. The company benefits from a strong ecosystem of integrations with leading SaaS platforms, enhancing its value proposition and stickiness. Testimonials and social proof from notable users and investors reinforce its market credibility. The company’s focus on GDPR compliance and EU hosting aligns well with privacy-conscious customers. Growth indicators include a large user base (500,000+ teams) and active community engagement. Partnerships with Stripe and automation platforms like Zapier and Make.com are critical to its operational and revenue model.

Security posture

Tally exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement, encryption of data at rest and in transit, GDPR compliance, and hosting within the EU jurisdiction. The use of reCAPTCHA helps mitigate spam and bot attacks. Security headers are properly implemented, contributing to defense in depth. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency and may impact enterprise trust. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The company should consider publishing a security.txt file and implementing a cookie consent mechanism to enhance compliance and user trust. Overall, the security posture is strong but can be improved with better communication and privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and enterprise trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security practices to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging server-side rendering and optimized asset loading for fast performance. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Integration with multiple third-party services (Stripe, Zapier, Make.com, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) supports rich functionality but requires careful privacy management. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom-built platform tailored for form building. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, scalable, and aligned with best practices for SaaS applications.
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.
