Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity.

Security-wise, CookieYes employs HTTPS, bot management via Cloudflare, Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent best practices, though explicit security and incident response policies are not publicly detailed.

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

2 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"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Business profile

CookieYes holds a strong market position as a trusted CMP provider with a large user base and Google certification, indicating competitive advantage. Its business model revolves around SaaS subscriptions with a free trial to attract users. The company supports multiple platforms including WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and integrates with major privacy frameworks, appealing to a broad customer segment including founders, developers, marketers, and agencies. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliate and agency partners, enhancing market reach. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and partner programs. The website content and testimonials reinforce credibility and ease of use, supporting growth and customer retention.

Security posture

The security posture of CookieYes is robust with HTTPS enforcement, use of Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare bot management, and comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms. Security headers and best practices appear implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, representing a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. The extensive use of analytics and tracking tools is balanced by clear cookie consent and privacy policies, indicating good privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing detailed security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security controls and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Add Data Protection Officer contact details if applicable to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
