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

Tickertape is a financial technology platform offering advanced stock analysis and financial tools tailored for the Indian stock market. It provides users with comprehensive data on Indian stocks, ETFs, and indices to facilitate smarter investment decisions. The platform targets retail investors and market researchers interested in Indian equities. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, integrates Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection, and employs analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity. While the site is well-designed and mobile-optimized, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced and bot protection is active, but the absence of security headers and formal security policies suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, with a moderate risk profile primarily due to privacy compliance gaps.

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. 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 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';…

  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

    • 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

  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 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: aspmx2.l.google.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Tickertape positions itself as a key player in the Indian financial tools market, focusing on stock analysis and market sentiment evaluation. Its business model revolves around providing online tools and data services to investors, likely monetized through premium features or partnerships. The platform integrates with third-party services such as Smallcase, indicating strategic partnerships within the fintech ecosystem. The target audience includes individual investors and financial analysts in India. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and uses modern web technologies to deliver its services. However, the lack of explicit contact information and formal policies may affect user trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate automated threats. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Enhancing security headers, publishing formal policies, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents would strengthen the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Include clear and verified contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks proactively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and bot protection, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The use of Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity supports detailed user behavior analysis. However, the site lacks visible CMS indicators and hosting provider details. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and optimized assets. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved for compliance and user experience. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but can benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
