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

Tenor is a well-established technology and media company specializing in animated GIF search, sharing, and keyboard applications. The platform serves a broad audience of internet users seeking to enhance their digital conversations with expressive media. Owned or operated under Google's ecosystem, Tenor benefits from a mature domain and strong integration with Google services, positioning it as a leading player in the GIF content market. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager, delivering a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and domain locking, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and publishing explicit security policies could enhance trust further. Privacy compliance is evident through comprehensive terms and privacy policies, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and incident response information suggests room for improvement. Overall, Tenor presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform with a strong market presence.

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. 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

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Tenor operates in the technology and media sectors, focusing on content delivery through GIFs and videos. Its business model includes providing free GIF search and sharing services, mobile keyboard apps for iOS and Android, and a developer API for integration. The company targets general internet users, social media enthusiasts, and developers. Its long domain history and association with Google enhance its competitive advantage. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes app stores and social media channels, supporting broad distribution. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and a large user base. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining privacy compliance and expanding security transparency to sustain user trust.

Security posture

Tenor demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, domain status protections against unauthorized changes, and use of nonce attributes in scripts to mitigate injection risks. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses reputable hosting and DNS providers, further strengthening security. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by updated privacy policies, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be a compliance risk. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the tenor.com domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data handling to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, including React for frontend rendering and Google services for analytics and tag management. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Google Domains for DNS hosting. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema markup. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built platform. Technical risks are minimal, but enabling DNSSEC and improving privacy mechanisms would reduce potential attack vectors and compliance risks.
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.
