Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

Webnode AG operates a mature and well-established website builder platform that enables users to create websites, blogs, and e-commerce stores quickly and easily, leveraging modern templates and AI assistance. The company targets individuals and small businesses globally, offering a freemium model with premium upgrades. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks, Google analytics and tag management, and cloud CDN hosting, ensuring fast performance and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which slightly reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional presentation and established brand. Overall, Webnode presents a low-risk, credible online presence with good privacy compliance and user experience.

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

2 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 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 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

Webnode AG holds a solid market position as a technology provider in the website building SaaS sector, with over 50 million websites created using its platform. Its competitive advantage lies in ease of use, AI-powered website generation, and localized support. The business model is subscription-based with free and premium tiers, targeting small businesses and individual users. The company maintains partnerships for recruitment, compliance, and accessibility services, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include multi-language support and continuous feature expansion. Revenue streams likely include premium subscriptions, domain sales, and add-on services. The company’s operations appear focused on technology innovation and customer support to maintain market relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, and cookie consent aligned with GDPR. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the content. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which is a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in security communication. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Verify and explicitly set security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense in depth.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide domain registration details to improve legitimacy perception.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Angular framework, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 for security. Hosting is via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and global reach. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with an accessibility widget integrated. Performance is fast with well-structured HTML and CSS. The use of multiple external scripts for analytics and marketing is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and formalize security documentation.
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.
