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

CookieInfo, operated by Nubo Works B.V., is a specialized provider of cookie consent and privacy compliance solutions, primarily leveraging the Cookiebot Consent Management Platform. The company holds a strong market position as the largest Cookiebot partner worldwide, offering services including cookie banners, cookie declarations, custom banner designs, and integration with Google Consent Mode V2. Their website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, comprehensive content, and strong trust signals such as certifications and client testimonials. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern integrations and optimized for performance and mobile use. Security posture is good with HTTPS and consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers are not evident in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable gap, suggesting the need for further verification of domain ownership. Overall, CookieInfo presents a credible and mature business with a strong focus on GDPR compliance and user privacy.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

CookieInfo targets a B2B audience including website owners, marketers, privacy officers, and agencies, providing tools and consulting to ensure cookie compliance under GDPR and related regulations. Their business model combines SaaS offerings with professional services and support. The company benefits from strategic partnerships and certifications that enhance market credibility. The website content and client logos indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a broad European focus, particularly in the Netherlands. Growth indicators include extensive multilingual support, a large user base for Cookiebot, and active content marketing through blogs and e-books. The partnership ecosystem includes major platforms like Google, Microsoft, and Usercentrics, reinforcing their competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a robust cookie consent mechanism that blocks cookies until user consent is obtained, aligning with GDPR requirements. Integration with Google Consent Mode V2 and server-side tagging solutions further enhance privacy compliance and data accuracy. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the web application against common attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and explicit security policy information are not present on the site, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for vulnerabilities and compliance with privacy standards.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security and privacy compliance assessments.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with multilingual support via WPML and integrates several third-party services including Cookiebot for consent management, Google Tag Manager, and Wistia for video content. The technology stack is modern and well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts and employs local storage and cookies for tracking and consent management. SEO and metadata are well implemented with comprehensive Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. The technical implementation supports a fast, accessible, and user-friendly experience with room for improvement in security header implementation.
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.
