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. 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

AdSimple operates in the technology and marketing sector, focusing on digital advertising services. Their business model is service-oriented, catering primarily to regional clients in Austria. The company demonstrates consistent branding and provides clear contact information, enhancing credibility. The absence of terms of service and security policy pages suggests room for improvement in formalizing business and security practices. The use of popular platforms and frameworks indicates a standard approach to digital marketing service delivery. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a focused and controlled partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes essential security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Forms are secured via Gravity Forms, a reputable plugin. However, the lack of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could be improved to enhance security culture and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to formalize user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though no explicit performance metrics were available. The technical implementation follows standard best practices, including proper meta tags and SEO optimizations. Hosting provider details were not explicitly identified. The site uses Gravity Forms for data collection, indicating a mature approach to form handling. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance monitoring.
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.
