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

ConnectAd Realtime Inc operates a supply-side platform (SSP) focused on empowering digital publishers and advertisers with advanced optimization, global demand access, and sustainability initiatives. The company is positioned as a technology-driven SSP with a strong emphasis on transparency, brand safety, and environmental responsibility. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting publishers, advertisers, and environmentally conscious businesses. The domain age and registrant information align well with the company's business claims, indicating legitimacy and maturity in the market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA v3 and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features, with room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses bot protection and consent management tools. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent, with no suspicious patterns detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers and publishing formal security documentation. The website content is safe for general audiences, with no adult or questionable content detected. Contact information is primarily via web forms, with a verified company email for demo bookings. No phone numbers or physical addresses are explicitly provided. The site integrates external partners for careers and support but does not expose affiliate or ad network details publicly. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and compliance. These steps will strengthen the security posture and business credibility, supporting ConnectAd's growth and market position.

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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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 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

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

ConnectAd operates in the digital advertising technology sector as a supply-side platform, serving publishers and advertisers globally. Their competitive advantage lies in advanced optimization technology, global demand access, and a sustainability-focused approach (GreenLine). The business model centers on monetizing ad inventory efficiently while ensuring brand safety and transparency. The company targets medium to large publishers and advertisers seeking performance and sustainability. Partnerships with recognized brands and integration with career and support platforms indicate a mature ecosystem. Growth indicators include a decade-long domain presence and a professional online presence. Strategic observations suggest a focus on innovation, transparency, and environmental responsibility as key differentiators in a competitive market.

Security posture

ConnectAd demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement, bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA, and consent management through Usercentrics. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers with clientTransferProhibited status. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options, and published security policies or incident response contacts indicates gaps in comprehensive security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement to meet higher security standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using WPBakery Page Builder, supported by jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for enhanced user interaction and security. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing robust infrastructure and performance benefits. The site includes a consent management platform (Usercentrics) to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement DNSSEC. The site architecture supports scalability and integration with external services such as career portals and support knowledge bases, indicating a mature and extensible technical infrastructure.
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.
