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

Clearout.io is a technology company specializing in email validation, email finding, and sales prospecting services. The platform targets businesses seeking to improve their email marketing and sales outreach by providing accurate and verified email data. The company operates primarily in the B2B SaaS market and has established itself as a focused provider in the email validation niche since its founding in 2018. The website presents a professional and modern interface built with Gatsby and React technologies, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting and DNS services leverage Cloudflare and GoDaddy, ensuring reliable performance and security. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections, but lacks advanced security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet GDPR and other regulations. Overall, Clearout.io demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

4 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 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

  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

Clearout.io operates in the technology sector, providing essential services for email validation and sales prospecting. Its business model is subscription-based SaaS targeting medium-sized businesses and enterprises that require clean and verified email lists. The company benefits from a clear market position as a specialized provider, leveraging partnerships with major platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook for social media integration. Revenue streams likely include tiered subscription plans and API access. The absence of explicit parent or subsidiary companies suggests an independent operation. Growth indicators include modern web technologies and active marketing via social media channels. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced privacy and security disclosures to build greater trust with enterprise clients.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain registration protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, reflecting a need for improvements in security best practices and transparency to meet enterprise security expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance details and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve browser security.
  4. Develop and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility including dedicated security contact emails to improve trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

Clearout.io utilizes a modern web stack based on Gatsby and React, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. The site uses FontAwesome for icons and integrates with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare and GoDaddy, providing reliable infrastructure. The website is well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO. Accessibility is basic but functional. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface 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.
