CookieHub ehf. operates a sophisticated Cookie Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help websites comply with global data privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and others. The company positions itself as a trusted provider with over 25,000 websites using its services worldwide. Their platform offers features like automatic cookie scanning, consent logging, geo-targeting, and seamless integration with popular platforms and tag managers. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive resources and documentation to support users. Technically, CookieHub leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, and integrates with Google Tag Manager and other marketing tools, ensuring a robust and scalable infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, includes essential security headers, and holds certifications such as ISO 27001 and IAB TCF, reflecting a strong commitment to data protection 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

4 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting businesses and website owners needing cookie compliance solutions. Their SaaS business model focuses on subscription-based revenue with tiered plans (Basic, Business, Enterprise). The company has established a strong market presence with certifications and partnerships, including Google Certified CMP status and integration with major platforms like Shopify and WordPress. Their ecosystem includes affiliate and reseller programs, indicating a strategic approach to market expansion. CookieHub's comprehensive coverage of global privacy regulations and multi-language support positions it well for international growth. The lack of detailed financial or founding year data limits deeper business insights, but the extensive feature set and trust indicators suggest a medium-sized, reputable company with a solid growth trajectory.

Security posture

CookieHub demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, presence of key security headers, and recognized certifications such as ISO 27001 and IAB TCF. The platform includes features like consent logging to support regulatory compliance and data protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response details, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. The company should consider publishing a security.txt file and providing direct security contact channels to enhance trust and incident management capabilities. Overall, CookieHub's security practices align well with industry standards for privacy-focused SaaS providers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide explicit security contact information for reporting incidents or vulnerabilities.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet or exceed WCAG AA standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, supported by Prismic CMS for content management. It integrates with Google Tag Manager and other marketing tools, ensuring flexible and scalable deployment. The site is mobile-optimized with fast loading times and good SEO practices including comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are robust, contributing to a secure user experience. No hosting provider details were explicitly identified, but the use of CDN and external domains suggests a distributed hosting architecture. The technical implementation supports a professional and reliable platform, though continuous monitoring and updates are 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.
