Risk levelMedium

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

Affiliate Summit is a leading organizer of affiliate marketing events and content publishing, targeting affiliates, advertisers, ecommerce sellers, networks, and tech suppliers globally. The website showcases professional branding, event information, and rich content including blogs, reports, webinars, and podcasts. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack with jQuery, GSAP, and various analytics and marketing tools integrated, hosted on a platform powered by SHOWOFF by ASP.events. Security posture is good with HTTPS and some security best practices, though security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages found. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved transparency and compliance documentation.

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 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

Affiliate Summit holds a strong market position as a premier affiliate marketing event organizer, offering free attendance to affiliates to empower the industry. Their business model revolves around event hosting and content publishing, serving a large audience in the e-commerce and media sectors. The company leverages partnerships and a broad content ecosystem to maintain industry leadership. The presence of testimonials and professional branding supports credibility. However, the lack of visible contact information and registration data may impact trust for some stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy policy and incident response information are missing, which could be a compliance risk. The site should enhance security headers and provide clear security and privacy documentation to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  4. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is publicly available to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack including jQuery, GSAP, ScrollMagic, and various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Feathr, Tapfiliate, and Qualified. The CMS platform is SHOWOFF by ASP.events, which supports event management and content publishing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including structured data and meta tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site loads multiple external scripts and fonts, which may impact load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility 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.
