Security score

63/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Uplink is a small business platform focused on connecting entrepreneurs and vendors within the beauty industry through a beauty solution directory and concierge services. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, with moderate technical maturity and basic SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some script-based protections, but lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency, which impacts overall trustworthiness. No contact or legal policy information is provided, limiting compliance and user trust. Strategic improvements in security policies, contact transparency, and domain registration clarity are recommended to enhance credibility and compliance.

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. 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 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

    • 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

Uplink operates as a niche platform in the beauty sector, targeting entrepreneurs and vendors seeking to build brands collaboratively. Its business model centers on providing a directory and concierge services to facilitate connections. The company appears to be small-sized with no public parent or subsidiary affiliations. The platform leverages Wix for website hosting and content management, indicating a cost-effective and scalable approach. Market positioning is focused but lacks visible trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. Growth potential depends on expanding service offerings and improving transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes JavaScript-based security enhancements to harden fetch and XHR requests. However, it lacks visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency, header implementation, and incident readiness to reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing standard Wix scripts and polyfills for compatibility and performance. The tech stack includes JavaScript with polyfills for Intl.Segmenter and core-js for legacy support. Hosting is managed by Wix, ensuring reliable uptime and scalability. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is good, consistent with Wix's responsive design capabilities. SEO metadata and Open Graph tags are present but basic, suggesting room for improvement in structured data and content richness. No advanced frameworks or analytics services are detected beyond Wix defaults.
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.
