Security report for tinder.com

Partial score · DNS & email only

75/100

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

Scanned

5 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

No critical or high findings in the checks that completed. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  2. DNS health

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

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Tinder holds a dominant position in the online dating industry, leveraging a large user base and a freemium model to generate revenue. Its competitive advantage lies in its brand recognition, extensive match data, and global reach. The company targets general consumers seeking dating and social networking services. The website’s infrastructure supports scalability and performance, critical for its large user volume. Partnerships with major platforms like Google and Facebook are evident through external domains. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies on the main page suggests these may be located elsewhere or require better visibility. The company’s long domain history and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its legitimacy and operational stability.

Security posture

The site employs HTTPS and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions, indicating a strong baseline security posture. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS in the provided data are potential gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  2. Add and publish explicit privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  3. Deploy comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen web security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and external domains to minimize tracking and privacy 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.
