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

Audience is a professional audience management platform focused on helping brands and media companies grow, engage, and monetize their audiences through interactive campaigns and data-driven tools. The platform boasts a large number of campaigns and data points collected, supported by extensive integrations with advertising and marketing services. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with modern technologies and strong marketing infrastructure. Technically, the site is built on Webflow CMS and uses a variety of modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, HubSpot, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a high level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses secure third-party services. While some security headers are not explicitly detected, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy and cookie policies are present and comprehensive, indicating good compliance with data protection regulations. Overall, the website and business appear legitimate and professional, with no signs of suspicious activity. The lack of WHOIS data is due to privacy protection, which is common and justified for this type of business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and publishing a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure to further improve trust and security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Audience operates in the media and technology sectors, providing SaaS solutions for audience engagement and data monetization. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive integrations, large campaign volume, and trusted client base including major media companies. The business model centers on providing tools for brands and advertisers to capture and activate first-party data, driving revenue growth. The company targets media companies, advertisers, and brands seeking to leverage audience data effectively. Growth indicators include millions of campaigns run and billions of data points collected. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major marketing platforms and social media channels. The company maintains a professional online presence with strong branding and client testimonials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. However, some standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly present, representing an area for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional headers and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails or phone numbers for support and security.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and integrations to ensure they remain secure and privacy compliant.

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.
