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

Cookiebot, now part of Usercentrics, is a leading consent management platform (CMP) focused on automating GDPR compliance for small and medium businesses. The company offers a plug-and-play solution for cookie consent and preference management, enabling businesses to meet privacy regulations efficiently. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to privacy compliance professionals and SMBs. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript modules, CSS variables, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS, security headers, and secure form handling, although explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, consent mechanisms, and GDPR alignment. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces transparency but is common in privacy-focused businesses. Overall, Cookiebot demonstrates a robust business and technical foundation with strong trust indicators. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, adding a security.txt file, and enhancing transparency on data retention and incident response to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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

Cookiebot operates in the privacy compliance technology sector, targeting SMBs needing GDPR and related regulation compliance. Its SaaS business model includes free trials and subscription plans. The company benefits from its integration with Usercentrics, enhancing market position and product portfolio. Cookiebot's competitive advantage lies in its ease of integration, reliability, and comprehensive consent management features. The website's affiliate and partner programs indicate a growing ecosystem. The company maintains a professional brand image with consistent messaging and strong trust signals such as ISO 27001 certification and social media presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure data collection forms. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public incident response policy or vulnerability disclosure program is a gap. The company should consider publishing these to improve transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is well integrated, with clear cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. Overall, the security maturity is high, suitable for a privacy-focused SaaS provider.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Provide a direct security contact email (e.g., security@cookiebot.com) for responsible disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end technologies including ES6 JavaScript modules and CSS variables. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with fast loading times and valid HTML/CSS. The use of SVG graphics and preloading fonts indicates attention to performance and user experience. No technical debt or legacy technology indicators were found. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content.
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.
