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

Clearout is a technology company specializing in email validation, email finder, and sales prospecting services. Founded in 2018, it offers a SaaS platform aimed at businesses seeking to improve their email marketing and sales outreach effectiveness. The company positions itself as a reliable provider of tools to help businesses find potential customers and maintain clean email lists. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Gatsby and Bootstrap, hosted likely behind Cloudflare DNS, and employs HTTPS for secure communications. The site demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and domain registration protections but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Tracking technologies from Google and Facebook are present, indicating moderate user tracking. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures 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

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 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 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 operates in the technology sector, providing essential SaaS tools for email validation and sales prospecting. Its business model revolves around subscription-based services targeting businesses that rely on email marketing and lead generation. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a consistent brand presence and a clear market niche. Its use of privacy protection in domain registration is standard for tech companies. The absence of detailed contact information and compliance policies on the website suggests areas for improvement in customer trust and regulatory adherence. The company leverages popular social media platforms for outreach and marketing. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary relationships from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. Tracking scripts from third parties introduce privacy considerations. The domain's WHOIS privacy protection is justified and typical for the business type. To improve security posture, Clearout should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security and incident response policies, and consider a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program (e.g., security.txt).
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Gatsby (a React-based static site generator) and Bootstrap for responsive design. Hosting appears to be supported by Cloudflare DNS services, enhancing performance and security. The site includes analytics and tracking via Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, indicating integration with common marketing tools. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. However, the absence of a CMS suggests content updates may be developer-dependent. The site could benefit from improved accessibility compliance and enhanced security header implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
