ClickCease · Technology · N/a
Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view.
ClickCease is a specialized SaaS provider offering advanced click fraud detection and protection software primarily for Google Ads and Facebook Ads campaigns. Positioned as an industry leader, it serves over 14,000 advertisers worldwide and protects more than 2 million campaigns. The company emphasizes automated blocking of fraudulent clicks, competitor click detection, and bot protection to optimize marketing spend and campaign effectiveness. Their platform includes detailed analytics and reporting, refund assistance, and integration with major ad platforms via approved APIs. Technically, ClickCease leverages a modern web infrastructure built on Webflow CMS, integrated with multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Bing UET, and ProfitWell. The website is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and secure form handling, though explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a cookie consent banner and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms could be improved to align fully with GDPR and CCPA requirements. The WHOIS data is unavailable publicly, which slightly reduces transparency but is likely due to privacy protection measures. Overall, the domain and website appear legitimate and professionally managed. Strategically, ClickCease should enhance its privacy compliance by implementing a clear cookie consent mechanism and publish a formal security policy or incident response page. Adding a vulnerability disclosure program would further strengthen trust. These improvements, combined with their strong market position and technical maturity, will solidify their reputation as a secure and compliant SaaS provider in the ad fraud protection space.

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.

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.

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.
