CookieHub ehf. operates a professional and comprehensive Cookie Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help website owners comply with global data privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and others. The platform offers automatic cookie scanning, consent logging, geo-targeting, and seamless integrations with popular platforms like Google Tag Manager, Shopify, and WordPress. Positioned as a trusted solution with over 25,000 websites using their services, CookieHub holds certifications including Google Certified CMP Partner, ISO 27001, and IAB TCF Certification, reinforcing its market credibility. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks including React and Next.js, with content managed via Prismic CMS. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information, which could enhance trust further. Overall, CookieHub presents a strong security posture and privacy compliance framework, with clear business information and professional content. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, indicating high legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security transparency 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

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 is positioned as a leading CMP provider in the technology sector, targeting website owners and businesses requiring cookie compliance solutions. Their SaaS business model offers tiered subscription plans with a free trial, catering to small to enterprise-level clients. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem, including integrations with major platforms and a reseller/affiliate program. Market presence is reinforced by certifications and a large user base. Growth indicators include multi-language support and compliance with numerous global regulations. The company maintains active social media channels and provides extensive resources and documentation, supporting customer engagement and retention.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. CookieHub employs secure consent mechanisms and logs user consents for compliance. However, the absence of a public security policy and incident response contact channels represents a compliance gap. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.
  5. Continue to monitor and update security headers and dependencies to maintain a strong security posture.

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack with React and Next.js frameworks, supported by Prismic CMS for content management. The use of CDNs and asynchronous script loading contributes to fast page load times and good performance metrics. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well implemented, ensuring a broad user reach. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card data. Technical risks are minimal, with no detected outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to further modernize by integrating advanced security monitoring and automated compliance checks.
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.
