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

Wish is a large-scale e-commerce platform focused on providing affordable consumer goods with frequent discounts and a money back guarantee. The website is well-branded and optimized for mobile and desktop users, leveraging modern web technologies such as React and integrating multiple payment processors and fraud prevention services. Privacy compliance is supported through a Trustarc Consent Manager, indicating a commitment to GDPR and user consent management. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and use of security best practices, though some security headers could be improved. WHOIS data is unavailable or missing, which is unusual but does not detract from the legitimacy of the site given its extensive digital footprint and integrations. Overall, Wish presents a professional and trustworthy online shopping experience with room for enhanced transparency in security and contact information.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

Wish operates in the competitive global e-commerce market, targeting price-sensitive consumers seeking discounted products. Its business model is marketplace-based, connecting buyers with sellers worldwide. The platform supports multiple payment processors including Braintree, Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, and Ebanx, indicating a broad payment ecosystem. The presence of fraud prevention tools like Forter suggests a focus on transaction security. Wish's marketing leverages TikTok analytics and Google Tag Manager for extensive user tracking and retargeting. The company maintains a strong app presence on Android and iOS, enhancing customer engagement. Despite missing WHOIS data, the brand is well-established with consistent branding and trust signals such as money back guarantees and privacy consent management.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. Security headers are minimal but present, with room for improvement by adding CSP, X-Frame-Options, and other headers. The use of Forter indicates proactive fraud detection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs limits transparency. The security score is good but could be enhanced by publishing more explicit security documentation and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information for security incidents and customer support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with asynchronous loading of JavaScript bundles optimized with Brotli compression. It integrates multiple third-party services including analytics (TikTok, Google Tag Manager), advertising (Google Adsense), fraud prevention (Forter), and payment processors (Braintree, Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Ebanx). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate with efficient resource loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for search engines. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature digital platform with opportunities to enhance security headers and transparency.
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.
