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

Translator.eu is a small-scale online multilingual text and phrase translation service leveraging Microsoft Translator technology. It offers free translations to 42 languages without requiring user registration, targeting general internet users seeking quick and reliable translations. The website is supported by advertising networks including Google Adsense and others, and implements GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies with consent management. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and asynchronous JavaScript for ads and analytics, providing a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure coding claimed, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. WHOIS data is privacy protected, limiting domain age and registrant verification, but the site’s use of Microsoft Translator and compliance measures support its legitimacy.

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.

Priority findings

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

The website occupies a niche in the online translation market by providing a free, ad-supported service that integrates Microsoft Translator’s backend. Its business model relies on advertising revenue, with no direct monetization from users. The target audience is broad, including individuals and businesses needing quick translations without registration. The site’s multilingual support and presence of multiple language-specific subdomains indicate a strategy to serve European and global users. Partnerships with major ad networks and Microsoft enhance its ecosystem. However, lack of explicit company information and contact details limits transparency. Growth potential depends on maintaining translation quality and user trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of Translator.eu is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS and uses secure coding practices as claimed in its about section. It implements GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating awareness of data protection regulations. However, the absence of detailed security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. The use of multiple third-party ad and analytics scripts increases the attack surface and requires ongoing monitoring. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the site is reasonably secure for its purpose but could improve transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including security or abuse email addresses to improve trust and incident handling.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide verifiable company information on the website to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern web stack with asynchronous JavaScript, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and Google Adsense for advertising and analytics. It integrates Microsoft Translator API for translation services. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features at a basic level. Performance is moderate, with multiple ad scripts potentially impacting load times. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses JSON-LD structured data for aggregate ratings, enhancing search engine understanding. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of advanced 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.
