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

Index Exchange operates as a global supply-side platform specializing in digital advertising technology, enabling premium digital media companies to monetize their ad inventory efficiently. The company positions itself as a key player in accelerating the evolution of ad technology, targeting advertisers and publishers seeking to optimize advertising revenue and consumer reach across multiple screens. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding and integration of modern web technologies such as WordPress CMS, Yoast SEO, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Technically, the website demonstrates good digital maturity with responsive design, SEO optimization, and use of industry-standard tools and libraries. However, the absence of explicit security headers and privacy-related policies indicates room for improvement in security and compliance posture. The WHOIS data is notably absent or privacy protected, which introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. Yet, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests a moderate security maturity level. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content accessibility. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy, security policies, and domain registration information to improve trust and compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents.

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

Index Exchange operates in the technology sector, specifically within digital advertising and programmatic supply-side platforms. The company targets premium digital media publishers and advertisers globally, offering solutions to grow advertising revenue and improve consumer reach. Its business model revolves around providing a marketplace for real-time ad impression sales with accountability. The presence of multiple language versions indicates a global market approach. The company maintains active social media profiles, enhancing brand visibility and engagement. While the website content is professional and consistent, the lack of visible contact details and WHOIS transparency may impact perceived credibility. The company appears to be an enterprise-level entity with a strong market position in ad tech, though further verification of corporate details is advised.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications, but no explicit security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided HTML content. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and incident readiness. The WHOIS data is missing, which may raise concerns about domain legitimacy. No WAF or security challenge was detected, which is positive for accessibility but may indicate less advanced perimeter security. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but should enhance transparency and policy publication to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and disclose domain registration details to improve trustworthiness and reduce suspicion from missing WHOIS data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO Premium plugin for search engine optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, FontAwesome for icons, and Vimeo Player API for embedded video content. The presence of WPML indicates multilingual support. The site employs Flickity for carousel functionality. Performance appears moderate with modern responsive design and SEO meta tags. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting provider details are not directly discernible from the HTML. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for an enterprise digital advertising platform, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended.
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.
