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

Cookiebot, a product by Usercentrics, offers a comprehensive Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help small and medium businesses achieve effortless GDPR compliance. Positioned as a leading CMP provider, Cookiebot integrates with major advertising platforms and supports multiple privacy regulations globally. The website demonstrates a strong market presence with clear messaging, professional design, and multilingual support, targeting SMBs and website owners seeking privacy compliance solutions. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including WordPress CMS, Google Tag Manager, and asynchronous JavaScript loading, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data, reflecting a mature security posture. However, the absence of a public WHOIS record and explicit security or incident response policies slightly reduce trust scores. Overall, Cookiebot's website is professional, secure, and privacy-compliant, with recommendations to enhance transparency around security policies and incident response.

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 within the technology sector, focusing on privacy compliance and consent management. Its SaaS business model targets SMBs globally, offering free trials and flexible cancellation policies to attract users. The company benefits from its parent company Usercentrics, which expands its product portfolio and market reach. Cookiebot's competitive advantage lies in its easy integration, compliance automation, and partnerships with platforms like Wix and WordPress. The website's content quality and branding consistency support strong business credibility. Marketing efforts include affiliate programs and retargeting via Google Ads. The company maintains active social media channels to engage customers and partners. Growth indicators include multilingual support and early access offerings for new products. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on expanding integrations and enhancing compliance features to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form implementations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of asynchronous loading for consent management scripts indicates attention to performance and security. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of data protection officer contact details also suggests room for improvement in GDPR compliance communication. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response policies and establishing a formal vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing. It uses CSS variables and SVG graphics for responsive and visually appealing design. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and preloading of fonts and images. Mobile optimization is excellent, with responsive layouts and accessibility features such as skip links and focus-visible styles. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks are minimal, but reliance on third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring. Hosting provider details were not identified, but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience.
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.
