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

Adpie.com is a South Korean technology company operating an SSP (Supply Side Platform) advertising platform that leverages advanced targeting technology to maximize ad revenue for media publishers. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image focused on mobile advertising solutions including mediation, various ad formats, and SDK integration. The company appears to be small-sized, founded in 2015, and operates under the parent entity Neptune Company. The platform targets advertisers and publishers seeking higher fill rates and eCPM through global ad network connections. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.3 and bxSlider, hosted on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS records. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with basic accessibility features. However, the absence of modern security headers and use of outdated libraries present security risks. No cookie consent or GDPR compliance mechanisms are evident, though privacy and terms policies are available in Korean. From a security perspective, the domain is registered consistently with the business location and age, showing no suspicious patterns. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of protection. However, the lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and incident response information limits the security posture. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is safe and business-focused. Overall, the website scores moderately well on business credibility and content quality but requires improvements in security best practices and privacy compliance to enhance trust and reduce risk. Strategic recommendations include upgrading JavaScript libraries, enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, and adding cookie consent and incident response disclosures.

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

8 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

Adpie.com operates in the competitive mobile advertising technology sector as an SSP platform offering mediation and diverse ad formats to maximize publisher revenue. Its business model centers on connecting media owners with global ad networks via RTB and open auction technologies. The company leverages partnerships with multiple mobile apps to expand reach. The platform's focus on advanced targeting and mediation provides a competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include ad impressions and mediation fees. The target customers are mobile app publishers and advertisers in South Korea and potentially broader markets. The company shows growth potential through technology enhancements and expanded partnerships. The absence of social media presence and limited public certifications suggest opportunities to strengthen market visibility and trust.

Security posture

The current security posture of adpies.com is moderate but with notable gaps. The domain uses HTTPS (implied by login links) but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.3) exposes the site to known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, limiting transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is basic, with no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR adherence. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, but technical security improvements are needed to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement essential security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  5. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security culture and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.3 and bxSlider, with custom scripts and CSS for styling. It uses Adobe Typekit for fonts and is hosted on infrastructure indicated by AWS nameservers. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with a clear navigation structure and professional design. However, the use of outdated libraries and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt and potential security risks. Performance is moderate, with no explicit CMS detected. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve accessibility, and enhance security configurations to support business continuity and growth.
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.
