Affiliatly is a SaaS provider specializing in affiliate marketing program management software tailored for e-commerce businesses. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of features including multiple affiliate tracking methods, affiliate management, payment integrations, marketing asset management, and performance analytics. With over 11 years of experience and more than 2500 registered clients, Affiliatly positions itself as a reliable and established player in the affiliate marketing technology space. The website targets e-commerce store owners and affiliate marketers seeking to launch and manage affiliate programs efficiently. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and various JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements and analytics. It integrates with a broad range of popular e-commerce platforms, demonstrating a mature and flexible technical infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics tracking. Performance is moderate with good SEO and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, privacy policies, and incident response documentation, reflecting a solid security posture. However, the absence of WHOIS data and lack of explicit security headers indicate areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and clearer security contact information. The overall risk assessment is moderate with a trustable business presence but some transparency concerns due to missing WHOIS data. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, providing explicit security contact channels, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain security and compliance standards.

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 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

  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

Affiliatly operates in the affiliate marketing SaaS sector, targeting e-commerce businesses globally. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive integrations with leading e-commerce platforms and a comprehensive feature set that supports affiliate tracking, management, and payments. The subscription-based business model aligns pricing with the number of active affiliates, providing scalability and cost efficiency for clients. Growth indicators include a large volume of orders tracked annually and a substantial client base. The company leverages partnerships with major e-commerce platforms and maintains a client-facing affiliate program to expand reach. Strategic observations highlight a focus on user-friendly setup, extensive customization, and transparent pricing, positioning Affiliatly as a practical solution for small to medium-sized e-commerce businesses seeking affiliate marketing capabilities.

Security posture

Affiliatly demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforcement, cookie consent mechanisms, and published privacy and incident response policies. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area of vulnerability. The absence of explicit security or abuse contact emails reduces transparency in incident handling. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policy and cookie consent. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could be strengthened by implementing additional HTTP security headers and clearer incident response contact information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and abuse contact emails to improve incident response transparency and user trust.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Maintain clear and updated documentation of data retention policies and privacy compliance to reinforce GDPR adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern frontend stack utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and several JavaScript libraries for UI components and animations. It integrates Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy over more common trackers like Google Analytics. The site supports multiple e-commerce platforms through dedicated integrations, indicating a flexible and extensible architecture. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential technical debt in legacy JavaScript libraries. Opportunities exist to modernize accessibility and enhance security configurations to align with best practices.
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.
