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

Burst Statistics B.V. is a small technology company based in the Netherlands specializing in privacy-friendly analytics solutions for WordPress websites. Their flagship products, Burst Statistics and Burst Pro, provide website owners with real-time, GDPR-compliant insights without relying on third-party tracking or cookies. Positioned as a privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics, Burst targets bloggers, businesses, and agencies seeking transparent and local data ownership. The company is part of the reputable Team Updraft Family, enhancing its market credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Easy Digital Downloads, with SEO optimized by Yoast SEO Premium. Hosting is managed via TransIP, and the site employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and performance, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature digital presence suitable for a SaaS business model. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids third-party tracking, aligning with its privacy claims. However, it lacks some security headers and does not publicly disclose a security policy or incident response plan. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong in practice but lacks explicit policy documentation and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, Burst Statistics presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a strong focus on privacy and user data protection. Strategic improvements in policy transparency and security headers would further enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Burst Statistics occupies a niche in the privacy-focused analytics market for WordPress users, leveraging the growing demand for GDPR-compliant tools. Its competitive advantage lies in local data storage and no third-party data sharing, appealing to privacy-conscious customers. The business model combines free and premium plugin offerings, generating revenue through subscriptions and licenses. The company benefits from association with the Team Updraft Family, which provides brand recognition and partnership opportunities. Customer testimonials indicate high satisfaction and potential for growth in agency and business segments. The partnership ecosystem includes well-known WordPress plugin providers, reinforcing market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and no evident use of third-party trackers or cookies, reducing attack surface and privacy risks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents areas for improvement. The lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure channels limits transparency and preparedness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found, indicating sound operational security. Enhancing these areas would improve compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or NIST and build customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  5. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with well-maintained plugins such as Gravity Forms and Easy Digital Downloads, supporting e-commerce and form functionalities. SEO is optimized using Yoast SEO Premium, and the site uses jQuery and custom JavaScript for interactivity. Hosting is provided by TransIP, a reputable European provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate but lacks DNSSEC. The technical stack is appropriate for the business scale and market, though some security best practices could be better implemented to reduce risk and improve compliance.
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.
