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

Trusted Origin is a technology company founded in 2020, providing trust certification services primarily targeting eCommerce websites. Their core offering is a Trust Badge that helps online businesses increase customer trust and improve conversion rates by verifying website security, business legitimacy, and scanning for malware. The company positions itself as a standard for online trust identification, leveraging manual business verification and automated security scans. The website is professionally designed with modern frontend technologies and responsive design, supporting a positive user experience. The technical infrastructure includes Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, Stripe Checkout, and Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, SSL validation, malware scanning, and phishing/spam checks. However, the site lacks published privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are important for compliance and transparency. Overall, the domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with the business claims and age. The website is safe, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche, but could improve compliance and transparency aspects.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

Trusted Origin operates a subscription-based SaaS model offering trust badges and security monitoring to eCommerce businesses. Their market positioning emphasizes trust and security as key conversion drivers. The company leverages manual and automated verification processes to differentiate itself. Contact information and physical address are clearly provided, supporting credibility. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified for a small tech company. Tracking tools like Google Analytics and Mouseflow are used for marketing insights, though cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The company appears focused on small to medium-sized online retailers seeking to reduce cart abandonment and increase sales through trust signals. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and SSL certificates validated regularly. Trusted Origin actively scans for malware, viruses, phishing, and spam, and manually verifies business legitimacy. Security best practices include minimal and optimized JavaScript loading to avoid performance degradation. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is strong but could be improved by adding formal policies and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add a dedicated security or incident response contact email (e.g., security@trustedorigin.org).
  4. Publish terms of service and a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics for traffic analysis, Mouseflow for session recording, and Stripe for payment processing. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with optimized assets, though accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks a CMS indication, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in accessibility and 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.
