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

Telegram.im operates as an unofficial service providing Telegram button widgets and logo generation tools for website owners and developers. The service aims to facilitate Telegram integration on websites, promoting Telegram channels, bots, and enabling user contact via Telegram's web or app platforms. The business model is free and niche-focused, targeting webmasters seeking Telegram-related widgets. The website is small-scale with moderate branding consistency and good content quality. Technically, the site uses a common open-source stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Mobirise CSS. Hosting is via Name.com nameservers, indicating a standard hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate with no critical technical flaws detected. Security posture is average; HTTPS is implied but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. The site implements cookie consent and a privacy policy, though the latter is basic and lacks GDPR compliance indicators. No terms of service or vulnerability disclosure policies are present. Incident response contact is limited to a link for reporting illegal content. Overall, the site is safe with no adult or questionable content, but lacks some professional security and compliance features. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting ongoing service operation. Strategic improvements in security headers, compliance documentation, and contact transparency would enhance trust and security posture.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  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

    • 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

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

Telegram.im occupies a niche market as an unofficial Telegram widget provider, leveraging the popularity of Telegram messenger. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free, easy-to-use Telegram button and logo generation tools, appealing to webmasters and developers. The business model is service-oriented without direct monetization evident, relying on traffic and possible partnerships. Target customers are small to medium website owners integrating Telegram features. Growth indicators include over 42,000 buttons and 205,000 logos created, showing active user engagement. Partnerships with apps2.me and getbtn.com suggest an ecosystem approach. The company operates independently without visible parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which are recommended best practices. No forms collect sensitive data, reducing attack surface. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent modal and privacy policy, but no GDPR-specific statements or data protection officer information. Incident response is limited to a contact link for illegal content reports, with no dedicated security contact emails or vulnerability disclosure policy. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the service type but could be improved with enhanced headers, compliance documentation, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security posture.
  3. Enhance privacy policy to include GDPR compliance statements and appoint a data protection officer if applicable.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve trust and support capabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization for better user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and common technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.4, jQuery 1.11.2, Font Awesome 4.3.0, and Mobirise CSS framework. It uses additional libraries such as Jarallax for parallax effects and Masonry for layout. Hosting is managed via Name.com nameservers, indicating a standard hosting environment. Performance is moderate with video backgrounds and animations that may impact load times. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design but accessibility features are basic. SEO meta tags are present but limited. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist, especially upgrading libraries and improving security headers.
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.
