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

Typeform is a leading SaaS technology company specializing in creating interactive, user-friendly forms, surveys, quizzes, and data collection tools. The company targets businesses and teams seeking to improve customer engagement and data insights through innovative form designs and AI-powered analysis. Positioned as an enterprise-scale provider, Typeform offers a broad suite of tools and integrations, supporting a wide range of use cases from marketing to customer success. The website reflects a mature digital presence with excellent content quality, strong branding, and comprehensive user experience design. Technically, the site is built on Webflow CMS, hosted on AWS CloudFront, and integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for privacy compliance, and Optimizely for experimentation. However, the security posture reveals critical issues such as an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, alongside a subdomain takeover vulnerability on the staging environment. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. Overall, while the business and technical maturity are high, security improvements are necessary to mitigate risks and enhance 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

7 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

Typeform operates in the technology sector with a focus on SaaS solutions for interactive data collection. Its business model revolves around subscription plans ranging from free to enterprise levels, targeting diverse customer segments including marketing, product teams, HR, and customer success. The company maintains a strong ecosystem of integrations with over 300 apps, enhancing its market reach and customer value. The website content and structure emphasize customer understanding and data-driven decision-making, supported by AI features. Trust signals such as multiple domain verifications, transparency reports, and a referral program reinforce credibility. The presence of a dedicated sales subdomain and partner directories indicates a well-developed partnership and sales strategy. Despite the lack of explicit physical address or phone contact, the digital footprint and community engagement suggest a robust operational framework.

Security posture

The security posture of the Typeform website is mixed. Positive aspects include a strict DMARC policy with reject for domain and subdomains, use of HttpOnly and Secure cookie flags, and integration of OneTrust for cookie consent management. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of support for TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential interception and downgrade attacks. The detection of a subdomain takeover risk on staging.typeform.com further highlights a security gap that could be exploited to impersonate the brand or serve malicious content. Security headers are present but limited, and advanced features like HSTS, OCSP stapling, and strong cipher suites are missing. No explicit security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues and subdomain management to elevate its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately deploy a valid SSL certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 to secure all web traffic.
  2. Mitigate the subdomain takeover vulnerability on staging.typeform.com by removing or properly configuring the DNS and cloud resources.
  3. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and update cipher suites to use strong, modern algorithms to improve SSL/TLS security.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and a clear security policy page to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations such as Wistia for video, Algolia for search, and OneTrust for privacy management. Hosting is provided via AWS CloudFront CDN, ensuring global content delivery. The site includes advanced tracking and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and Optimizely for A/B testing. Performance metrics are not explicitly provided but inferred as moderate due to chunked transfer encoding and multiple external resources. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed with responsive design and ARIA attributes. However, the lack of valid SSL and outdated TLS support pose significant technical risks. The site uses multiple domain verification TXT records for Google, Stripe, Bugcrowd, and others, indicating a mature domain management practice. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and scalable but requires security enhancements to align with best practices.
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.
