The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Drip, and Microsoft Clarity.

Overall, the website is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, with clear communication about its business transition.

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

5 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 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 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

  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

ClickSocial operates in the technology sector with a SaaS business model focused on social media marketing tools. The company has a niche market position serving WordPress users and social media marketers. The domain age of 2006 aligns with the company's history, indicating a stable presence. The announcement of service shutdown and focus shift to Smash Balloon suggests strategic consolidation. The company uses multiple marketing and analytics platforms to engage users and track performance. There is a partnership relationship with Smash Balloon, which is the new focus brand. The business model relies on subscription services, and the website content is professional and targeted. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, but support is referenced via help documentation and contact forms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which increases the attack surface and requires regular auditing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is limited, lacking a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses a variety of plugins and third-party services including All in One SEO Pro, Drip marketing, OptinMonster, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Analytics. The hosting infrastructure includes Cloudflare DNS and GoDaddy registrar. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The site uses modern fonts and responsive design. There is some technical debt in the form of missing DNSSEC and lack of security headers. The site is well maintained but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
