CookieHub ehf. operates a leading Cookie Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help websites comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and others. The company offers a comprehensive suite of features including automatic cookie scanning, consent logging, geo-targeting, and integrations with popular platforms like WordPress, Shopify, and Google Tag Manager. Positioned as a trusted solution used by over 25,000 websites worldwide, CookieHub emphasizes ease of use and regulatory compliance. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, leveraging Prismic CMS for content management and integrating analytics and support tools like Google Analytics and Helpscout Beacon. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and certifications including ISO 27001 and Google Certified CMP status. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty about domain registration transparency. Overall, CookieHub presents a mature, professional, and secure platform with a solid market position in the privacy compliance sector.

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

3 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 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. 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

CookieHub targets businesses and website owners needing to comply with evolving cookie and data privacy laws globally. Its SaaS business model is subscription-based with tiered plans offering features from basic compliance to enterprise-grade consent logging. The company leverages partnerships and integrations to expand its ecosystem, including reseller and affiliate programs. Market positioning is strong, supported by certifications and a large customer base. The company operates primarily in the technology sector with a focus on privacy compliance solutions. Growth indicators include multi-language support, extensive regulatory coverage, and continuous product enhancements. The partnership with CookieChecker and presence on major social media platforms enhance its market reach and credibility.

Security posture

CookieHub demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and adherence to recognized standards such as ISO 27001. The platform avoids exposing sensitive data in its web content and uses secure forms for data collection. While no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, the presence of certifications and compliance with IAB TCF 2.2 indicate a strong commitment to security and privacy. The absence of a published security policy or security.txt file is a minor gap. Overall, the security posture is robust, suitable for handling sensitive consent data, but could be improved by adding explicit incident response information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider a security.txt file.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet WCAG AA or AAA standards.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency on domain registration details to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and scalable technology stack including React and Next.js frameworks, with Prismic CMS for content management. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Helpscout Beacon, and analytics services indicates a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO and accessibility practices. The use of multiple integrations and plugins for popular platforms like WordPress and Shopify shows a flexible and extensible architecture. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and dependencies is recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
