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

ScientiaMobile, Inc. operates the WURFL.io website, providing advanced device detection technology primarily through their WURFL.js product line. Their offerings include free and commercial licenses that enable detection of smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and game consoles, with enhanced capabilities for iPhone and iPad models in paid tiers. The company targets developers, enterprises, advertisers, and analytics professionals seeking to optimize mobile experiences and advertising effectiveness. The website reflects a mature business with consistent branding and a clear focus on technology solutions in the device detection space. Technically, the website employs AngularJS and modern JavaScript libraries, integrating Google Analytics and HubSpot forms for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS throughout, though some security best practices such as explicit security headers and visible privacy/cookie policies could be improved. Performance is moderate with good user experience and navigation clarity. Analytics usage is moderate, leveraging device detection data to enhance tracking and reporting. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid posture with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies reduces compliance maturity. WHOIS data is privacy protected and incomplete, but the domain aligns with ScientiaMobile’s branding and business model, indicating legitimacy. No signs of blocking or WAF interference were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, adding security headers, and providing clear contact information for incident response. These steps will enhance trust, compliance, and security posture, supporting ScientiaMobile’s position as a leading device detection technology provider.

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.

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. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ScientiaMobile holds a strong market position as a provider of device detection technology, offering both free and commercial licensing models. Their business model is SaaS-based, targeting developers and enterprises needing device intelligence for mobile optimization, advertising, and analytics. The company leverages partnerships and community engagement via Discord and enterprise support portals. Revenue streams likely include commercial licenses and enterprise support contracts. The website content and external links indicate a focus on technology and analytics sectors, with a medium-sized company profile. The absence of direct contact info on the analyzed page suggests a controlled communication channel, likely centralized through their main corporate site. ScientiaMobile’s consistent branding and trademark usage reinforce their credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is solid but not exemplary. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The presence of a CSRF token meta tag indicates some attention to security. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security policies are visible on the site, limiting transparency. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified for this technology company and does not raise suspicion. Overall, the site is secure for typical use but would benefit from enhanced security headers, visible privacy and cookie policies, and clear incident response contacts to improve compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and support, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Improve SEO metadata completeness and structured data to boost search engine visibility and content discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses AngularJS as its primary framework, combined with JavaScript libraries for device detection (WURFL.js), analytics (Google Analytics), and marketing forms (HubSpot). The site is served over HTTPS with modern asset delivery but lacks explicit security headers. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds on desktop and optimized navigation for mobile devices. The technical stack is modern but could be updated to newer frameworks for long-term maintainability. The absence of CMS detection suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals but has opportunities for modernization and enhanced security hardening.
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.
