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

Armanet is a specialized advertising platform focused on the firearms and Second Amendment (2A) industry, providing programmatic advertising solutions to brands, retailers, publishers, and creators within this niche. The company positions itself as a modern alternative to mainstream ad platforms that restrict 2A content, offering targeted ad campaigns with features such as retargeting, geo-targeting, and audience interest targeting. The business is relatively new, founded in 2023, and operates primarily in the US market. Its website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear messaging and partner endorsements from well-known firearms-related websites. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for interactive carousels, and HubSpot for analytics, chat, and form management. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security at the infrastructure level. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. From a security and compliance perspective, the site does not display explicit privacy or cookie consent mechanisms, which may impact GDPR compliance. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, with contact primarily facilitated through a HubSpot chat widget and call-to-action pages. There are no published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a US-based registrant and a domain age appropriate for a startup. Overall, Armanet presents as a credible and professional niche advertising platform with a good technical foundation and moderate security posture. To enhance trust and compliance, the company should implement explicit privacy and cookie policies, improve security headers, and provide clearer contact information and security policies.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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

Armanet operates in a niche market serving the firearms and 2A community, a segment underserved by mainstream advertising platforms due to policy restrictions. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized programmatic ad technology tailored to this audience, enabling granular targeting and automated ad sales. Revenue streams likely include advertising fees from brands and retailers, with a focus on measurable ROI and no lock-in contracts. The company has established partnerships with prominent firearms-related websites, enhancing its reach and credibility. Growth indicators include a large claimed audience reach (50M+ unique users, 250M+ monthly impressions) and positive customer testimonials. The business model is B2B focused, targeting advertisers and publishers within the firearms ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest potential for expansion into adjacent outdoor and conservative media markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Data protection practices are not explicitly detailed, and GDPR compliance is uncertain due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  5. Provide direct company contact information such as verified emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack using Bootstrap for responsive design and Swiper.js for interactive elements, ensuring a good user experience across devices. HubSpot integration provides analytics, chat, and form capabilities, indicating a mature marketing infrastructure. Hosting via Cloudflare offers performance benefits and basic security protections. The site loads quickly and is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for hardening. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
