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

Clever Advertising is a medium-sized digital marketing company specializing in affiliate marketing and customer acquisition for iGaming operators worldwide. With over 15 years of industry experience, they leverage media buying, SEO, PPC, and influencer marketing to deliver significant first-time depositing customers to their clients. Their business model is affiliate-based, focusing on expanding market share and brand positioning for their partners. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, is hosted with Cloudflare, and uses Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic with privacy and cookie policies present but no active cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with no signs of malicious content or blocking mechanisms.

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 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

  3. 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

The company targets iGaming operators and digital marketing clients globally, serving over 13 operators across five continents. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing industry presence, data-driven acquisition strategies, and a broad partner ecosystem including well-known brands like bet365 and 888. Revenue streams are likely affiliate commissions from customer acquisitions. The company fosters a collaborative community culture and emphasizes premium acquisition partnerships. Their website content and partner logos reinforce their market position and credibility.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration status prevents unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as CSP or HSTS are detected. The contact form includes a consent checkbox aligned with GDPR requirements, but no explicit security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and formal security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  5. Create and publish a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper, WOW.js, and Fancybox, providing a responsive and interactive user experience. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and uptime. The site is mobile-optimized and has a clean, professional design. However, SEO optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization and enhanced accessibility 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.
