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

The website www.uspssmartpackagelockers.com presents itself as an official USPS service portal for Smart Lockers, offering secure, self-service package delivery and pickup options at Post Office locations. The site is well-branded with USPS logos and consistent design, targeting package recipients and shippers in the United States. It provides detailed information about the benefits, usage, and locations of Smart Lockers, enhancing customer convenience and security. Technically, the site is built using modern web technologies including React.js and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are evident. Performance appears moderate with no broken elements detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about the domain's legitimacy despite the professional presentation and strong USPS branding. Overall, the site is professional and user-friendly but should address security header implementation, cookie consent, and clarify domain registration to improve trustworthiness 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

5 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 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 website serves as a digital extension of the United States Postal Service, focusing on the Smart Locker service to enhance package delivery security and convenience. Its market positioning leverages USPS's nationwide presence and trusted brand. The business model is government-operated postal services with an emphasis on innovative delivery solutions. Revenue streams are likely indirect, through USPS shipping services rather than the locker service itself. The target customers are individual package recipients and shippers seeking secure delivery alternatives. The site integrates with USPS's broader ecosystem, linking to official USPS tools and services, indicating a strong partnership and ecosystem alignment. Growth indicators include expansion of locker locations and digital service offerings. Strategic observations suggest the site aims to reduce package theft and improve customer satisfaction through technology.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of user tracking, but no vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. There is no explicit incident response or security policy information available, which limits transparency. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern for trust and legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for informational content but requires enhancements for compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy and trust.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website to demonstrate security governance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React.js framework, providing a responsive and accessible user experience. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate ensuring encrypted communications. The HTML structure includes proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). No CMS or hosting provider information is directly detectable. Performance is moderate with no broken links or errors observed. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, enhancing usability. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, which may indicate a staging environment or proxy usage rather than a fully registered domain.
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.
