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

AndBeyond.Media is a digital advertising technology company specializing in maximizing revenue for media publishers and content creators through advanced ad tech solutions including programmatic advertising, SSP, and ad management. The company positions itself as a Google Certified Publishing Partner with a global presence, primarily based in the UAE. Their platform emphasizes ease of deployment and holistic ad solutions to drive incremental revenue. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper, and Google Analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly but lacks some advanced accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing DNSSEC and security headers, and no cookie consent mechanism is present, which impacts privacy compliance. WHOIS data shows privacy protection typical for this business type, with domain age consistent with the company's claimed history. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

7 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 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

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

The company operates in the media and technology sectors, targeting media publishers and advertisers with a SaaS-like ad tech platform. Their business model revolves around providing programmatic advertising solutions and yield maximization tools. They have a significant client base of over 1000 publishers across 40 countries, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with a strong market position. The partnership with Google and client testimonials enhance credibility. The company leverages a partner ecosystem including The Alchemy Group, which appears to be a parent or related entity. Growth indicators include advanced technology adoption and a focus on incremental revenue streams. The company’s operations are primarily based in the UAE with additional presence in India, Singapore, and the US.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which limits transparency. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR compliance indicators suggests potential compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party libraries and Google Analytics is standard but requires proper configuration to ensure privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy controls to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper, and Slick Carousel for UI components, and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Hosting is via GoDaddy as per WHOIS data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization, webpage, and navigation. Accessibility is basic with some animation and scroll effects but no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks detected. There is no CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could expose the site to certain attacks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but has room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
