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

CookieTractor is a specialized European SaaS provider offering a user-friendly, legally compliant cookie consent solution tailored for website owners who need to meet GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements. The company emphasizes accessibility, supporting WCAG 2.2 AAA standards and the European Accessibility Act, making their product suitable for a wide audience including those with disabilities. Their market position is strengthened by references to reputable clients such as Volvo Car Retail, UNICEF Sweden, and the Swedish Government, indicating trust and reliability in their niche. The business model is subscription-based with tiered pricing according to website size, targeting small to medium enterprises and organizations requiring robust cookie management solutions. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET Core with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Matomo. Hosting and CDN services are provided via Cloudflare, ensuring fast global delivery and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with a clean, professional design and clear navigation. Cookie consent is implemented with a detailed banner that blocks non-essential cookies until user consent is given, demonstrating strong privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS exclusively and employs anti-forgery tokens in forms, indicating good security hygiene. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that reduces trustworthiness and should be investigated further to confirm domain legitimacy. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, with contact primarily via web forms. Overall, CookieTractor presents a mature, professional, and privacy-conscious offering with strong technical and compliance foundations. The main risk lies in the lack of publicly available domain registration data, which could impact trust for some users. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy or incident response page, and improving transparency around company contact information to bolster business credibility and trust.

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.

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 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 15 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

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

CookieTractor operates in the technology sector, focusing on privacy compliance and accessibility for cookie consent management. Their competitive advantage lies in their strong compliance with European regulations and accessibility standards, as well as their automated cookie scanning and multi-language support. The SaaS subscription model with clear pricing tiers based on page volume suggests predictable revenue streams. The target customers are website owners and organizations needing GDPR-compliant cookie solutions, including government and non-profit sectors as evidenced by client references. The company has established partnerships or client relationships with notable European entities, enhancing their market credibility. Growth indicators include thousands of implementations and continuous feature development such as dark mode support and EU-only data delivery options. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with analytics and marketing platforms like Google Analytics, Matomo, and Hubspot. Operationally, the company is focused on European data privacy and sustainability, positioning itself as a responsible and compliant vendor in the privacy tech market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling via anti-forgery tokens. The cookie consent mechanism ensures that no non-essential cookies are set before user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. Use of Cloudflare provides additional protection against bots and DDoS attacks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program is evident. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide direct company contact information such as verified emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion among users and partners.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern ASP.NET Core framework with client-side JavaScript including jQuery 2.2.4. It uses Cloudflare CDN for hosting and performance optimization, ensuring fast global content delivery. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Matomo, with marketing tools including Hubspot and Google Ads. The site is mobile-optimized and meets high accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AAA). The cookie consent solution is sophisticated, featuring automatic cookie scanning, multi-language support, and blocking of third-party cookies until consent. Performance is optimized with client files under 20 kB and EU-only data delivery options. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of explicit security headers and missing WHOIS data represent risks. Opportunities exist to modernize security posture and improve transparency to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.
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.
