0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

CookieHub ehf. operates a sophisticated Cookie Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help businesses comply with global data privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and others. The company positions itself as a trusted provider with over 25,000 customers worldwide, offering features like automatic cookie scanning, consent logging, geo-targeting, and accessibility compliance. Their platform integrates seamlessly with popular CMS and website builders, including WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow, and supports multiple languages and regulatory frameworks. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, leveraging Prismic CMS and integrating with Google Tag Manager and Helpscout for analytics and support. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and certifications including ISO 27001 and Google Certified CMP. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data introduces some uncertainty about domain legitimacy. Overall, CookieHub presents a professional, secure, and privacy-compliant service with a solid market presence.

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 website owners and businesses requiring cookie compliance solutions, operating a SaaS business model. Their competitive advantage lies in comprehensive compliance coverage, ease of integration, and certifications that build trust. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans with tiered features. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including integrations with major platforms and affiliate programs. Growth indicators include a large customer base and continuous feature expansion. Strategic observations suggest a focus on maintaining compliance leadership and expanding global reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and adherence to recognized standards like ISO 27001. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR and other regulations is evident through detailed privacy policies and consent mechanisms. Incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies are not prominently available, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  2. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trustworthiness.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts for faster security issue reporting.
  4. Maintain regular updates of third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue expanding compliance coverage and certifications to strengthen market position.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, performant tech stack including React and Next.js, with Prismic CMS for content management. It is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility standards, with fast loading times and good SEO practices. Integration with analytics and marketing tools is well-implemented without excessive tracking. Technical risks are minimal, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring. The infrastructure supports scalability and ease of integration with popular platforms, aligning with the company's SaaS business model.
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.
