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

4 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 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 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

Affilae operates in the competitive affiliate marketing technology space, offering a comprehensive suite of services including affiliate software, marketplace access, payment solutions, and management services. Their business model is SaaS-based with a focus on performance marketing and influencer partnerships. The company targets advertisers and marketers seeking to optimize affiliate programs and influencer collaborations. Their growth is supported by a strong partnership ecosystem and a clear value proposition around automation and performance tracking. The presence of detailed case studies and customer reviews indicates a mature customer engagement strategy. The company’s digital footprint and domain registration data align well with their market claims, supporting credibility and operational stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented in compliance with GDPR. Use of CAPTCHA on forms and absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response information suggest areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the provided content. The security score is solid but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and hosted by OVH sas, a reputable provider. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Matomo, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is multilingual, mobile-optimized, and performs well with fast loading times. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) and comprehensive meta tags supports SEO effectiveness. Technical debt appears minimal, and the site leverages best practices in user experience and accessibility. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation to further reduce technical risks.
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.
