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.

Priority findings

4 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 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

Cashrewards operates in the e-commerce sector as a cashback rewards platform, generating revenue through affiliate partnerships with retailers. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive network of over 1,500 partner stores and a user-friendly platform accessible via web and mobile apps. The business model focuses on incentivizing online shoppers by sharing commissions as cashback, driving customer acquisition for retailers. The company maintains a strong digital presence with active social media channels and a well-structured website. Growth indicators include app availability on major platforms and integration with browser extensions for real-time cashback notifications. The partnership ecosystem includes major brands and retailers, enhancing market reach and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern web technologies and secure form practices further strengthen its security. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels indicates a need for ongoing privacy and security monitoring to mitigate risks associated with data sharing. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced communication of security policies and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy compliance measures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The use of Imgix for image delivery and integration with multiple analytics and marketing platforms reflects a mature digital infrastructure. The site employs a headless CMS (Strapi) for content management, supporting scalability and flexibility. Performance is optimized with preloading of critical assets and asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed through semantic HTML and comprehensive meta tags. Technical risks are minimal, with no signs of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to further enhance hosting transparency and implement advanced security monitoring.
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.
