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

Uplift Founders is a specialized coaching service focused on empowering startup founders to scale their businesses faster by addressing both the inner psychological aspects and the outer strategic business challenges. Founded in 2023 and based in Germany, the company targets seed-stage founders approaching Series A funding as well as bootstrapped founders with significant traction. Their offerings include a proprietary Founder Audit, shift sessions, a Clarity Program for bi-weekly coaching, and an intensive Series A Co-Pilot mode for hands-on support. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, including detailed FAQs and client testimonials, which enhance trust and credibility. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Swiper.js for UI components, alongside Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The domain is registered with a reputable registrar and secured with HTTPS, although DNSSEC is not enabled. No major security vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced compliance and security. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security and incident response policies. The business credibility is high due to transparent contact information, professional content, and consistent branding. No adult or questionable content is present, making the site safe for general audiences.

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 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 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Uplift Founders occupies a niche market in startup founder coaching, focusing on the critical transition phase from seed funding to Series A. Their competitive advantage lies in combining psychological coaching (inner game) with strategic business support (outer game), addressing both founder mindset and operational challenges. Revenue streams likely include paid coaching sessions, audit services, and longer-term coaching programs. The target customers are ambitious startup founders in Europe, particularly Germany, seeking to accelerate growth and fundraising success. The company leverages digital tools like Typeform for applications and Matomo for analytics, indicating a modern, data-driven approach. Partnerships appear limited to digital service providers, with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies. The business model emphasizes personalized, high-touch coaching with scalable digital intake processes.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and domain transfer protection. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to prevent DNS spoofing. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies shows privacy-conscious tracking practices, but the absence of a cookie consent banner may be a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced with standard best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, utilizing Swiper.js for interactive UI elements and Matomo for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Hosting appears to be managed via united-domains GmbH, with domain registration consistent and transparent. Performance is moderate, with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site generator approach. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured FAQ JSON-LD. Accessibility is good with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. Technical risks are low but could be improved by adding security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
