Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Caroda operates a video advertising delivery platform focused on creating and optimizing high impact video advertising channels across multiple regions including the USA, UK, and several European countries. The company targets video advertisers and publishers seeking to maximize video advertising revenue through regional expertise and technology-driven solutions. The website is built on modern Webflow CMS infrastructure, integrating key marketing and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for cookie consent, and Adform for advertising tracking. While the technical implementation is solid with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, the absence of visible privacy policies, terms of service, and WHOIS transparency limits the overall trust and compliance posture. Security practices include HTTPS and cookie consent but lack explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the website presents a professional business front but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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 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. 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

Caroda positions itself as a specialized B2B SaaS provider in the video advertising sector, leveraging regional market knowledge to serve clients in North America and Europe. The business model revolves around providing a platform that enables advertisers and publishers to open new video advertising channels and optimize existing ones, thus increasing revenue. The company appears to be small-sized with a focused niche market. The integration of scheduling tools like Calendly suggests active client engagement and consultation services. However, the lack of visible contact information and corporate registration details on the website may hinder trust-building with potential clients. The use of reputable ad networks and tracking services indicates a mature marketing ecosystem, but the absence of partner or subsidiary domain references suggests a standalone operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, reflecting awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which are important for transparency and trust. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and potential privacy protection misuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by publishing security documentation and enhancing technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Enhance WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration details are complete and publicly accessible.
  3. Implement and verify security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager. It integrates third-party marketing and tracking tools such as Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent, Adform for advertising tracking, and Calendly for scheduling consultations. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for Webflow-hosted sites with external resource dependencies. Accessibility features are basic but present. The absence of explicit security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that could impact business operations and trustworthiness.
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.
