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

Affiliate.com is a technology-driven affiliate commerce platform focused on powering the future of AI and traditional commerce. It serves publishers, networks, merchants, and brands by providing structured, real-time product data and analytics to optimize affiliate marketing strategies. The platform emphasizes normalized data from over 20,000 merchant programs and offers API and web platform access to its customers. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and comprehensive business information including privacy and terms of service policies. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and branding appear consistent and trustworthy. Technically, the site is built on Webflow CMS, uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and HubSpot for analytics and marketing, and is hosted on a reliable infrastructure likely supported by Cloudflare. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are found, which may impact user trust and support accessibility. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as no exposed sensitive data and controlled script loading. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor for domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and business-focused with moderate risk due to incomplete domain registration transparency. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, implementing cookie consent for GDPR compliance, publishing security and incident response policies, and verifying domain registration details to enhance trust and credibility.

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

5 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. 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

  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

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

Affiliate.com operates in the affiliate commerce sector, targeting publishers, networks, merchants, and brands. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a unified platform that aggregates and normalizes product data from a vast number of merchant programs, including major retailers like Amazon and Walmart. The business model revolves around enabling affiliate marketing through APIs, web platforms, and analytics tools that help customers optimize revenue and consumer engagement. The company maintains partnerships with leading affiliate networks, enhancing its distribution reach. Growth indicators include a large dataset, frequent updates, and a focus on AI-powered commerce solutions. The absence of explicit company founding date or registrant information limits full business profiling but the platform's market positioning is strong within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. The use of Google Tag Manager and HubSpot indicates controlled third-party script management. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve domain legitimacy and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as JavaScript, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Google Fonts. It uses asynchronous script loading for performance optimization and integrates marketing and analytics tools like HubSpot. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and fast loading times. The use of CDN-hosted assets and external font services contributes to performance and reliability. However, the site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
