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

Yext operates as a leading digital presence platform focused on empowering multi-location brands to manage and optimize their brand visibility across AI and traditional search channels. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including AI-powered search intelligence (Scout), listings management, knowledge graph content organization, reviews and reputation management, social media amplification, and compliant customer engagement tools. Their market position is strong, supported by a large enterprise customer base including well-known global brands. Technically, the website demonstrates modern infrastructure with React-based front-end, structured data for SEO, and integration with major digital platforms such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and OpenAI. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers and incident response information are not publicly detailed. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and terms policies, though a cookie consent mechanism is not evident. Overall, the risk profile is low with recommendations to enhance security headers and transparency around incident response. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but is mitigated by the professional and consistent branding and external references.

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

6 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

Yext's business model centers on SaaS delivery of digital presence management tools tailored for enterprises with multiple locations. Their competitive advantage lies in AI-driven search and competitive intelligence capabilities, extensive publisher network integrations, and compliance-focused social media tools for regulated industries. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform modules and professional services. Target customers are large enterprises in sectors such as retail, hospitality, financial services, and healthcare. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with major digital platforms and has a strong brand presence evidenced by high-profile customer logos and case studies. Growth indicators include continuous product updates and active content marketing. Strategic observations highlight Yext's positioning as a critical enabler for brands seeking to optimize local search and AI visibility in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the front-end scripts. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and may impact stakeholder confidence. There is no evidence of GDPR non-compliance; privacy policies are comprehensive and accessible. Incident response readiness cannot be fully assessed due to missing public information. Overall, the security maturity is good but would benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party integrations and scripts to ensure no vulnerable libraries are introduced.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce ambiguity.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with modular JavaScript and uses JSON-LD structured data for SEO optimization. The presence of schema.org markup and Open Graph tags supports rich search engine results and social media sharing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses a CDN for media assets, contributing to fast load times. Navigation is clear and content is well-organized into platform, solutions, resources, support, and company sections. There is no evidence of legacy technology or technical debt. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but performance indicators suggest a reliable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement advanced security headers. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience and robust digital presence.
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.
