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

1 finding 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 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

CookieCode operates a B2B partner-based business model targeting Dutch website management professionals requiring GDPR compliance solutions. Their market position is niche but well-defined, offering a comprehensive compliance package including maintenance and monitoring. The company leverages partnerships to expand reach and provides multi-language support, enhancing market penetration. Revenue streams likely derive from partner subscriptions or service fees. The website content and structure support a professional image, with clear calls to action for partner engagement. The partnership ecosystem is a key strategic asset, enabling scalability and customer acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Cookie consent is actively managed via proprietary scripts, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The integration of multiple third-party marketing and analytics scripts necessitates ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security headers and formal disclosure policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts to optimize performance, though overall speed is moderate. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and clear navigation. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the content. Technical risks are minimal but depend on maintaining third-party script security and improving security headers.
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.
