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

ThingLink is a well-established SaaS company founded in 2010, specializing in interactive media creation tools including images, videos, 360° media, and immersive learning experiences. The platform targets a broad audience including educators, businesses, and public sector organizations, offering scalable solutions for employee training, marketing, and education. The company holds a strong market position with multiple industry partnerships and certifications such as ISO 27001, and is recognized through various awards and customer testimonials. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies and integrates with major platforms like Microsoft Teams, Google, and HubSpot, providing a seamless user experience across devices including mobile apps. However, the SSL configuration is currently invalid or missing, which significantly impacts the security posture. Security headers are present but the lack of valid TLS protocols and HSTS reduces the overall security score. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich but requires urgent SSL and TLS fixes to improve security 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

2 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

ThingLink operates in the education and technology sectors, offering interactive content creation tools that serve millions of users worldwide. Its business model is subscription-based with free trials and tiered pricing for education and business sectors. The company leverages strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Google, Canvas, and Canva to enhance its market reach and product integration. The presence of a referral program and extensive analytics indicates a mature marketing and customer engagement strategy. The company targets educational institutions from K-12 to higher education, vocational schools, and various business sectors including healthcare and manufacturing. The platform's scalability and enterprise features suggest a medium-sized company with ambitions for growth and broad market penetration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Cookies are set with Secure and HttpOnly flags and SameSite=None attribute, indicating attention to cookie security. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no TLS protocols are enabled, which is a critical vulnerability that undermines HTTPS security. HSTS is configured in headers but not enabled, and OCSP stapling and session resumption are absent. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and tracking services, which are managed with a cookie consent mechanism, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately fix and renew the SSL certificate to ensure valid HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and disable deprecated protocols to secure data in transit.
  3. Activate HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  5. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  6. Regularly audit and update security headers and CSP to mitigate evolving threats.
  7. Enhance transparency around data retention policies for analytics and tracking services.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, utilizing a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Swiper.js, and Wistia for video content. It integrates with multiple third-party services such as HubSpot for forms, Calendly for scheduling, Microsoft Teams SDK, and OAuth providers for authentication. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and lazy loading of images and videos. SEO is supported through comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance metrics are not provided but the presence of multiple external scripts and video embeds may impact load times. The site uses cookie consent management to comply with privacy regulations. Overall, the technical implementation is robust but could benefit from performance optimization and CMS identification.
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.
