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

Boltive Inc is a technology company specializing in digital compliance and ad security software solutions. Their offerings focus on helping brands, publishers, and vendors maintain safe and privacy-compliant digital experiences, leveraging AI to stay ahead of evolving regulations and threats. The company positions itself as an innovative leader with a strong client base including major media and publishing brands. Technically, the website is built on modern platforms such as Webflow, utilizing various JavaScript libraries and marketing tools like HubSpot and Google Analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with a professional design and clear navigation. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, though lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly, but the overall digital presence and trust signals support the company's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying contact information to further strengthen trust 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

3 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 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

  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

Boltive operates in the technology sector, providing essential compliance and ad security software to enterprises and digital publishers. Their business model centers on SaaS offerings that simplify complex privacy regulations and ad security challenges. The company enjoys a medium-sized market presence with notable clients such as DIRECTV, BuzzFeed, and New York Post, indicating strong market validation. Their partnership ecosystem includes related domains like publisher.adlightning.com and app.boltive.com, suggesting integrated service offerings. Growth indicators include active content marketing, thought leadership resources, and certifications. The company targets privacy teams, digital publishers, and enterprises requiring advanced compliance tools, positioning itself competitively in a niche but growing market.

Security posture

Boltive demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent framework that supports GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing vulnerability disclosure information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Clarify and publish direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Rellax.js for UI effects. Marketing and analytics tools include HubSpot forms and Google Tag Manager, integrated with Osano CMP for cookie management. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. There is no explicit hosting provider information visible, but content is served via CDN.prod.website-files.com, indicating CDN usage. The technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in accessibility and security header deployment. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source code.
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.
