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. 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';…

  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

  • 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

AdRecover operates in the technology and media sectors, targeting web publishers who face revenue loss due to ad blockers. Their business model is B2B SaaS, offering a pro-user adblock bypass service that aligns with industry standards like Acceptable Ads. The company leverages partnerships, notably with AdPushup, to enhance service offerings. The website content and client logos indicate a medium-sized company with a professional market presence. Growth potential is supported by the increasing prevalence of ad blockers and the need for compliant monetization solutions. However, the lack of transparent WHOIS data and privacy documentation may impact trust among potential clients and partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Compliance with GDPR is implied through consent control features but lacks explicit documentation. Enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing a security.txt file would strengthen the overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Swiper for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
