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

3 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.

    • 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company operates on a freemium SaaS business model with multiple subscription tiers catering to individuals, small teams, and enterprises. It leverages a strong ecosystem of integrations and notification channels such as email, SMS, Slack, and webhooks to enhance user engagement. The presence of active social media channels and community features like Discord and a referral program indicate a mature marketing and customer engagement strategy. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a stable and legitimate business presence with consistent branding and trust signals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses domain status locks to prevent unauthorized changes. While explicit security headers are not fully visible in the HTML, the site follows best practices by avoiding exposure of sensitive data and using secure forms. However, there is no publicly visible security policy or incident response page, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts suggests a need for ongoing privacy and security monitoring to mitigate tracking risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to enhance user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including UIkit for UI components, Google Fonts, and multiple analytics and marketing tools integrated via Google Tag Manager. Hosting and DNS are managed through Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible with good SEO practices. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. The technical implementation is robust with no visible technical debt or vulnerabilities, though some security header enhancements could be made.
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.
