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 occupies a niche market position as a GDPR compliance enabler for websites, operating through a partner ecosystem. Their business model focuses on B2B partnerships, enabling web professionals to offer compliant cookie and privacy solutions to their clients. The company emphasizes multilingual support and monthly partner recognition, indicating active engagement with its partner network. Revenue streams likely derive from partner subscriptions or service fees for compliance packages. The absence of a terms of service page and limited public business registration details suggest a small-sized enterprise focused on specialized compliance services within the Netherlands.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business scope but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to harden the site.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and integrates marketing and analytics platforms such as HubSpot and Google Analytics. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
